...printers' strike ended early this week with a settlement both sides praised. But as of yesterday, the BGMA men were still out trying to force the University into recognizing the BCMC as their bargaining agent. Whether the strikers, who have said they will on "two hours notice" participate in an election, will participate in the state one without a legal guarantee from Harvard remains to be seen
When Moses Cleaveland carved out a settlement at the mouth of the Cuyahoga River in 1796, it seemed a promised land. Since then, the Ohio city he laid out has dropped an a from its founder's name and most of his Utopian hopes. Last summer's flaming riots in the city's rat-infested ghetto of Hough proved that Cleveland's Negro neighborhoods are as volatile as Watts or Harlem.

Though Hungarian diplomats had played a key role in a short-lived effort to bring Hanoi and Washington together before and during the 1966 bombing pause, Budapest gave up all efforts to effect a settlement last fall and reportedly ordered Radványi to abandon mediation attempts. Devoutly believing in closer East-West relations, Radványi became increasingly-and, in the end, irrevocably-frustrated by his government's instructions, and opted for American citizenship rather than a Hungarian ambassadorship...
