...confrontation to one of negotiation. It would also provide further evidence of whether it is possible for the world's two ranking superpowers -one democratic and capitalist, the other autocratic and Communist-to put aside or at least tone down their longstanding ideological and political rivalry for the sake of peace and self-interest. The outcome of the talks could harm or help Nixon's chances for reelection in November. For Nixon's host, the Moscow summit is also something of a test, for the talks are the key to his policy of East-West...

They are destroying our schools for the sake of the minorities, they are taking our money and giving it away...
...expected to scrutinize 134 entries within nine hours. McCormally claims that such a system "allows for some pretty good journalism to get lost." More importantly he contends that the selection group is too narrowly based to encompass all that is new and vital in journalism. For the sake of diversity he would add such nonjournalists as Jesse Jackson, Saul Alinsky, Daniel Berrigan and Spiro Agnew...
