...iconoclasms: "I know the job I have is supposed to be the most difficult job in the world. But it has not yet become for me that great, awesome burden that some have described it." His actions seem to support the words. The presidency has made a regular golfer of Nixon, who, as a private citizen, found golf "a waste of time." He has taken some evenings off this season to root for the Washington Senators, and will doubtless keep a number of his Sunday afternoons free this fall to watch the Washington Redskins. The White House operated half days...
...sheer size, South Viet Nam's military establishment is impressive. Counting Army, Air Force, Navy, and various paramilitary forces, it totals 1,022,000 under arms. Another 1,500,000 belong to local self-defense forces, armed with a number of outdated but still reasonably effective weapons. Regular soldiers have seen their equipment steadily improve in quality. The U.S. was slow to supply the best weapons to South Viet Nam's forces. But now all 185 maneuver battalions of the Army of the Republic of Viet Nam (ARVN) are equipped with U.S.-supplied M-16 assault rifles...

Smith has gained 28 men from Amherst, Dartmouth, Trinity, Wesleyan and Williams, but lost 73 of its regular students to men's colleges. A third of the Smithies are bound for Dartmouth, where they are being joined by 15 girls from Mount Holyoke, seven from Wheaton and three from Connecticut College...
...familiar cycle-labor v. management saber rattling over money, hours, work conditions -all capable of rational settlement. But the talks between the Met and eleven unions were hampered by past rancors and lack of trust. Bombay-born Zubin Mehta, music director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic and a regular conductor at the Met, last week scornfully characterized the negotiations as an "Oriental-bazaar style of bargaining." Bing speaks openly of the "sheer demagoguery" of his adversaries, and is furious that they don't take pity on the Met's general economic plight. They, in turn, blame management...
