...Republicans, however; the Democrats control Congress. After a Friday-morning breakfast caucus, Democratic leaders announced that they intended to ignore Nixon's warnings and might even try to override any presidential veto, though it is questionable whether they can muster the required two-thirds vote. Accordingly, they sent Nixon the mine-safety bill despite his threat. Though Congress appropriated $19.9 billion for HEW-roughly the amount Nixon requested-an additional $1.1 billion in spending is almost certain to be added later. Thus, the move was not likely to influence Nixon. Similarly, though a number of ornaments were removed from...
...halls of the Rabat Hilton echoed with the usual anti-Israel sentiments. But discussions were tempered somewhat by the course of outside events. Nasser recently sent a delegation to Moscow seeking increased arms shipments. The Egyptians also sought a vigorous nyet to recent U.S. peace proposals, which include, among other things, Israeli withdrawal from Sinai in return for a negotiated peace settlement with the Egyptians. The delegation came home bearing a message from Premier Aleksei Kosygin saying that Moscow still hopes for a political settlement of the Middle East crisis. Until the Soviets change their minds, which seems highly improbable...
...young's denial-may yet fuse. How? The Paris Biennale offers only the most tantalizing hints. This looks like the beginning of the decade of the art group: from the U.S., from France, from Cuba, Canada, Eastern Europe, well over half the work that the young sent to Paris was created by teams. The other new beginning is a cool fascination with man's urban environment as subject-dream cityscapes, 21st century living and working places, architectural fantasies.

Former Major General Pyotr Grigorenko spent 34 of his 63 years in the Soviet Army. In 1961, however, he had the temerity to criticize the "Khrushchev cult" at a party meeting. That outburst eventually cost him his army career, and sent him off to an asylum for 14 months as a "schizophrenic." In time, the old soldier became one of the most vigorous and spirited dissenters against the current regime. Seven months ago when he arrived in Tashkent to act as counsel for ten Crimean Tartars who were on trial for civil rights activities, Grigorenko was arrested for "anti-Soviet...
Help from Abroad. Foreign Minister Bourguiba, son of the founder and President of Tunisia, has spent most of his time since the flood pleading for foreign assistance. Morocco, France and the U.S. sent helicopters that brought food and medical personnel to isolated areas and flew stranded families out. The U.S. also allotted nearly $1,000,000 and West Germany $2,500,000 in loans and grants. French, Belgian, Dutch and Spanish engineers are already at work rebuilding rail lines and restoring the water system. Russia dispatched $20,000 worth of blankets, food and medicine and a message of sympathy...
