...agreement. Thuy's U.S. counterpart, William Porter, canceled this week's Paris session in protest against a three-day anti-American international convocation, called principally by a group of French leftist organizations, at nearby Versailles. Some observers at recent meetings had got the impression that some slight accommodation might be possible, but last week's negotiating session was unusually bitter...
...Binh puts two David Copperfield kids in the middle of Vietnam horrors. It's a slight piece of social history. But it is accurate, emotionally powerful, and if it didn't preach pacifism in a Have-Have Not war, it would come very close to non-partisanship.

It has been hard to persuade the departments to take seriously even the slight responsibility which was prescribed (in the Bender Report of 1950) of assigning Sophomores in Economics, English, Government, History and Social Relations to tutors associated with the Houses in which they live. President Lowell would have been quick to level this criticism himself, since the Houses in their present situation suffer...
