...this a genuine lull, or had the Communists been hurt so badly by Abrams' successful tactics that they were merely pulling back to regroup, as they have done so often in the past? Many in the Johnson Administration seemed willing to interpret the lull as a deliberate signal from Hanoi that the North Vietnamese wanted to move on to a new phase in the Paris peace negotiations. A minority, centered in the Pentagon but also including Rostow and Rusk, held out in the absence of firm and far-reaching North Vietnamese concessions. Said one U.S. diplomat: "I have always...
Abortive Appearance. This season Meredith and Starr have had more than their share of companions in pain. Indeed, the outcome of the 1968 pro football season seems to be predicated on the survival quotient of quarterbacks. As of last week, no fewer than 16 signal callers in the two leagues have been sidelined with injuries for one or more games. Many of the injuries, like Starr's, could hardly have been prevented.

Their cases happen to be the most severe and rapidly progressive, making it imperative that the neurosurgeon operate in infancy. Much more common are cases in which there is no clear warning signal at birth. The seizures begin a few months later and gradually become more frequent and severe. In such cases the cause is brain damage, but not as the result of birth injury. The damage may be the result of infection or biochemical poisoning during gestation and may appear as scarring...
