...concerned with ending the war in Vietnam in a dilemma. We are aware of the fragmentation of the peace movement, and of the resolutions, slogans, tactics tried out in our desperation. Some strategies may be futile but harmless. But others may backfire. A call for immediate withdrawal will seem cavalier to some and callous to many; it is not a call for a cease-fire. Already the President is taking account of violent feeling among many civilians and some senior and junior officers that the fighting men are being betrayed...

Privately, a few concede that they would prefer a warmer climate such as the French Riviera, where several have villas. In a memorandum to the U.N., they argue that the palace, "while a noble monument, is totally un suitable" and that The Hague has never become the world law capital that idealists once envisioned.

Buckley Jr. She starred in "Sugar Hill," a slice-of-life sketch that will be a feature of the series; the opener was more pungent than The Goldbergs...
...Gare du Nord for a ten week summer holiday. One little mop haired cherub named Pascal (Brook Fuller) rushes into the arms of Papa (William Holden) and Papa's fiancee (Virna Lisi). All the kids are happy. All the parents are happy. Even the conductors and porters seem happy. It can never last...
