Unless Ho Chi Minh's death causes a North Vietnamese policy change that is not yet apparent and does not seem likely, Nixon's announced goal of "a peace we can be proud of" is no closer than it was when the Administration...

We just seem to sit back and marvel at such precosity, while remembering how painfully we reached the same kinds of consciousness. A few of you will try to defend Pusey's Harvard, and for you I feel kind of guilty. Because the rest of us will be trying to pull...
