...Question. Nixon has taken a position on the anti-ballistic missile, but one that does not really settle the issue (see following story). The decision typifies his approach so far-somewhere between action and caution. As for Viet Nam, Nixon has not -so far as the public can see, anyway-moved from the Johnson Administration's policy. Casualties still run as high as 300 or 400 a week. Since peace talks began in Paris last May, more than 10,000 young Americans have been killed...
...President's meeting in California last week with Ellsworth Bunker, the ambassador to Saigon, and General Andrew Goodpaster, deputy chief of U.S. forces in Viet Nam, may be only one of a series of crucial meetings aimed at new moves toward peace (see THE WORLD).

Once peace comes, once the abnormalities and injustices which have so far served as the stepping stones to the attainment of their power and wealth are removed, they are certain to lose their foothold. This, as far as President Thieu and his sympathizers are concerned, is comparable to physical death. To prevent peace...
