This week's lead story in the Business section, written by George Church and researched by Sue Raffety, is the first direct result of such contact. The excerpts from the board's initial meeting were compiled by Clell Bryant and Claire Barnett. What does not appear in the excerpts is one little exchange that goes a long way to demolish Carlyle's famous description of economics as "the dismal science." Asked by Editor Loeb to clarify a point during the discussions, Dr. Walter Heller, a former presidential adviser, smilingly replied: "I purposely left that a little vague...
...called for withdrawal of all U.S. combat troops by the end of next year. Privately, Nixon told a group of Republican Congressmen last week that nearly all U.S. troops will probably be out of combat before the November 1970 elections. Whether or not he can bring about that result, the President made one unassailable observation on television about his "plan for peace."

Capturing an estimated 80% of the black vote and managing to draw as many Jewish votes as did Procaccino, Lindsay won with just 41.8% of the total. Nonetheless, the fact that he won at all restored him as a man whom both Republicans and Democrats must reckon with in future sweepstakes for the White House...
...fade, key Republican Senators have tried to persuade the Nixon Administration to withdraw the nomination and avoid an embarrassing, party-splitting showdown. Nixon has refused. Mustering every scintilla of White House prestige and pressure, he has sought to win over recalcitrant Senators, but with little success. As a result, Nixon now faces the biggest defeat of his young Administration...
