...forgot his own doctrine in Bangkok, when he declared: "The U.S. will stand proudly with Thailand against those who might threaten it from abroad or from within." Although Nixon has begun to withdraw U.S. troops from Viet Nam in what is obviously an effort to cut losses and repair mistakes, he made an extraordinary statement. "In this dreary, difficult war," he said, "I think history will record that this may have been one of America's finest hours, because we took on a difficult task and succeeded."

Vincent Bardis, 40, a former salesman, has built a bigger Chicago business by coordinating the work of 36 subcontractors. His firm has booked $750,000 worth of business so far this year. For some other contractors, repair and remodeling work have served as the launching pad into house-construction. William Adkison and Ralph DeMeo, a couple of Florida carpenters who were earning $2.83 an hour a decade ago, joined to start A.D.H. Construction Co. The firm did extensive remodeling work, earned enough to begin building apartment houses...
