...measure of this anxious age that anything resembling good news is immediately regarded as suspect. Thus it must be remembered that both agreements face many tests. The cease-fire arrangement is only the precondition for reaching a Middle East settlement; the chances for a "just and lasting peace" remain slim. By the same token, only future Soviet actions can tell whether the German-Soviet accord will merely confirm the existing division of Europe or whether, as Chancellor Brandt hopes, it will provide an opportunity to overcome that division gradually.

...defeated Adam Clayton Powell by a slim margin in a Democratic congressional primary last week has made a lifetime habit of doing the difficult and making it look easy.

His latest design is a beamy, white-and-gold sloop that stretches 63 ft. in length. Broad in her forward sections and slim in the stern, she has been dubbed "the tadpole." Valiant's keel is smaller than the old Intrepid's, her trim tab larger. A Stephens innovation for 12-meters, the trim tab on the aft end of the keel helps to reduce drift to leeward and can be used...
