...that first warm day—who knows when it shall arrive—we cannot help but exult and perspire. The despicable primitivism of our immanent natures emerges and takes control of us, and we become delightful to behold. Thus reduced, we look about and with new eyes perceive professors, secretaries, groundskeepers and even administrators glowing from their own inescapable vitality.

Administration officials ended last week planning to force a vote on the second U.N. resolution, even without commitments of votes from nine of the 15 Security Council members, the number needed for the second resolution to pass. France and Russia have the authority to veto, and both vowed to "block" the Security Council from sanctioning the use of force, even if the U.S. lines up the votes needed to approve it. Administration officials are betting that neither country would risk such an outright challenge...
