...sidelight to last week's talks in Paris was a rumor in the State Department that Kissinger erred last October when he hurried home to Washington with a draft agreement that turned out to be less than airtight. There is no evidence that this is so, and the whispers of a Kissinger goof could be put down to State jealousy, but they would surely increase if the President's negotiator were to fail to nail down a settlement on the second go-round. In short, some furious bargaining remained to be done before either Kissinger...
Some of the week's visitors left happier than they arrived. One rumor had it that Kenneth Rush, currently Deputy Secretary of Defense, might get the top job in his department, succeeding Laird. But there were even stronger rumors that the job might go to HEW Secretary Elliot Richardson, who might also a) stay in his present post or b) move on to Justice. Out of the running for any Cabinet job, it seemed, was Nelson Rockefeller; last week he told the President that he would prefer to stay on in New York and, possibly, run for a sixth...
DANTE, WHOSE OWN GAZE was as resolute in considering his underworld, looms large in the background of Beckett's work.

Brokers remain optimistic, agreeing with Spencer Trask & Co.'s Raymond F. DeVoe...
...Jones industrial average jumped ten points after a Kissinger news conference disclosed some details of his previously secret trips to Paris to confer with North Vietnamese negotiators. On May 3, the Dow index climbed more than eight points in the first two hours of trading on the mere rumor that Kissinger was in Paris again (then the Dow tumbled more than ten points the same day when the White House denied that he was wrapping up a deal with Hanoi). The average rose ten points when Kissinger was in Peking, on June 20 and 21, though it dropped back...
