...secret of the fact that we see détente as the way to create more favorable conditions for peaceful socialist and Communist construction," Brezhnev told the 25th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union at its opening session in Moscow. "Détente and peaceful coexistence refer to interstate relations. This means mainly that disputes and conflicts between countries are not to be settled by the use or threat of force. Détente does not in the slightest abolish, and cannot abolish or alter, the laws of the class struggle . . . There is no room for neutralism...
...Lockheed payoffs are clearly an example of what the Japanese poetically refer to as kuroi kiri (black mist), or corruption. Ironically, Premier Miki could profit from the public anger; he has earned a reputation as his party's Mr. Clean. But Tanaka, who remained a major behind-the-scenes power in the Liberal Democratic Party after his resignation as Premier, is almost certain to be tarnished, directly or indirectly, by the new scandal...
Something should be said early on, in this newly-revived column of press clips, about the dean of press clips himself, Dr. Press Clips, the successor to Hunter S.

This taste was reinforced by our pioneering social science surveys of the early 20th century and it was further elaborated in the 1930s by a series of innovative photographers and cinematographers. William Stott of the University of Texas at Austin has recently...
...regional director repeatedly attempted to send the unprecedented case to NLRB in Washington, but ultimately succumbed to pressure from the Washington board to render a decision which he was unwilling to make. By refusing to refer the matter to Washington immediately after briefs were filed in February, Fuchs obviously blundered, as evidenced by his subsequent unsuccessful attempts to dispose of the case. Both Harvard and District 65 were well aware of this when they jointly petitioned the NLRB in Washington to take the case last December. For its part, the Washington board was wrong in not taking the case from...
