...front of the room sat a handsome old black man in a mason's uniform. Behind him was a cloth-covered casket, surrounded by gay wreaths of flowers. One wreath was in the shape of a clarinet. Another was a mason's insignia. Above the casket was a stained-glass portrait of Jesus, lit from behind. I went up to the casket and looked down. There was a small black man inside it in a mason's uniform. it was George Lewis...
...that settlement is now taking place far from the desert firing lines. In New York, the U.N. ambassadors of the U.S., Russia, Britain and France are in their sixth week of diplomatic talks on the Middle East. At the same time, the U.S. and Russia are together exploring the shape of a possible settlement at high-level talks in Washington.

Debate over Dividend. The size and shape of the "peace dividend"-the resources freed to the nation by an end to the war-remains open to question. It would not be nearly as huge as claimed by those who blame all the nation's ills on Viet Nam. On the over-optimistic premise of a possible ceasefire early this year, Schultze projected a dividend that would grow from $8 billion in 1971 to as much as $40 billion a year in 1974 as the economy continued to expand. During his campaign, President Nixon mentioned a dividend figure...
