...Pyongyang, North Korea's Foreign Ministry denounced the U.S. for "running wild to provoke a new war in Korea." The exercise, said the Communists, was "the most wanton violation of the Korean Armistice agreement and a reckless playing with fire, threatening peace in Asia and the rest of the world." In the six days before the U.S. parachute drop, four firefights broke out in the demilitarized zone. One American was killed in the worst incident, and two U.S. troops and a South Korean soldier wounded. A U.S. helicopter evacuating the wounded crashed, killing all seven aboard. Pyongyang was making...
...inviting de-escalation by example. Despite the strong faith of some critics in the efficacy of voluntary deescalation, the evidence that Hanoi was signaling tacit willingness to lower the level of fighting during the battlefield lull is still far from compelling. The Communists, after all, needed the rest just as urgently for military reasons ?and may well have decided to stay in the jungle in order to prepare for another blow that would force Nixon's hand...
...improved technique and results, surgeons concede that operations for hiatal hernia should not be undertaken lightly. Of the patients whose X rays reveal the condition, said Dr. Adams, only about one-fourth need any treatment, medical or otherwise. Only about half of those need undergo surgery. For the rest, there are antacids, perhaps other drugs-and, of course, that infernal bland diet...
Calling for it is one thing, getting it is another. The rent control board with its elected majority would, in practice, exercise only a loose overseer ship love the administration of the bill. The bulk of administrative duties would rest with a bureaucracy which, like all others, would be only sporadically sensitive to popular pressure. Given limited resources, such a bureaucracy would likely respond only to complaints pressed over a long period through its channels. It is doubtful that many lower income lower income residents would have the time or resources to press these complaints. Middle class, not lower class...
...referendum organizers; it's a take, they think, to be attacked after rent control has been won, and a campaign has been waged for enforcement of housing codes. This strategy is patently infeasible. Once the "victory" of rent control is won, the bulk of neighborhood residents will likely rest on their dubious laurels, perhaps forever, at least until it becomes obvious that rent control has not helped the housing situation. By then it will be too late. Most of Cambridge's residents will have rested in their rent-controlled apartments, while, at a minimum, the 1200 to 1500 Inner Belt...
