...subtle. The inappropriateness of a strike against the public interest had forced the development of a whole arsenal of limited economic weapons which made possible the resolution of negotiations between adversaries. In effect what the New York Times chooses to call political deals and what Mr. Lindsay's spokesmen refer to as "dealing with the power brokers" was a limited form of collective bargaining, which allowed for the resolution of economic conflict without reliance on a strike--a confrontation based on limited economic weapons...
There are several unfortunate lines that from the way they are delivered, make you wonder if they are intended to refer to Burton's role in Becket. Control refers to Fiedler as the "acolyte who will one day stab the high priest in the back;" and Burton refers to the warden in the prison as the Archbishop of Canterbury. It's not the right kind of movie for clever allusions. The lines would have been better left...
...Invasion." Far and away the most formidable problem, of course, is the Communist buildup in South Viet Nam, which has reached the point where U.S. officers refer to it as a "sub-invasion." Regular troops from Hanoi have been infiltrating at a probable rate of 2,500 monthly since mid-1965, and intelligence sources in Saigon expect the Ho Chi Minh government soon to increase the flow to 4,500 a month.

After World War II, it was America that gave Europe food, shelter, the sheer hope of survival. Through patterns of aid and alliance, the U.S. also tried to help banish Europe's ancient, tragic-and sometimes...
Right v. Right. Bonn's policy, from the early days of Konrad Adenauer through the present regime of Ludwig Erhard, has never publicly changed. Official West German maps label Silesia, Pomerania and East Prussia Zurzeit unter Polnischer Verwaltung (temporarily under Polish administration), and Germans still refer wistfully to Wroclaw as Breslau. Bonn argues that until a reunited Germany negotiates its final World War II peace treaty with the Big Four (as called for in the 1945 Potsdam Agreement), Germany's boundaries remain those of 1937-the year before Adolf Hitler began his Gross Deutschland annexations...
