Regardless of the wording, the Administration insisted afterward that there had been no change of position and that there would be none. "We've run out of moves," said one high official.

Whatever the real import of Hanoi's intensified diplomatic campaign, one side benefit from the Communist viewpoint is the increased pressure it puts on Washington. United Nations Secretary General U Thant chimed in once again and put responsibility for getting talks started on the U.S. The Soviet Union condemned Johnson's "unwillingness...
Civilian Collaborators. Toward the end of 1966, as civic-action teams pushed ahead with new roads and schools in the interior and established the first real rapport with the campesinos, the army was able to launch a major drive against guerrilla strongholds in the Sierra de las Minas in north eastern Guatemala.

But the biggest conjecture of all concerned Coach Lombardi, who in nine years has turned the Packers from the patsies of the N.F.L. into the most successful team in pro football history. One report had Lombardi giving up coaching but retaining...
...Harriman. The Penn Central will operate on 40,000 miles of track in 14 states and two Ca nadian provinces. It will run 4,200 locomotives, 195,000 freight cars, and 4,937 passenger cars. It will also be the nation's largest private landlord, with real estate holdings that include Park Avenue hotels and a Pittsburgh office building-apartment complex, a 25% share in the new Madison Square Garden, erected over the rebuilt Pennsylvania Station in New York City, resorts in Florida, parks in Texas and housing developments in California. The diversified corporation will have total assets...
