...price of a skyjacking accord with Castro is the deportation of three trusting men, then the price is too great," says one State Department staffer An Administration official thinks that instead of deportation the three could be then given stiff jail sentences, which would probably satisfy the Castro government even if the jail terms were later shortened or suspended...
...Joke. Press Critic Ben Bagdikian recently focused attention on the paper when he ranked the Eagle (along with the New York Times and Paris' Le Monde) as one of the world's three "great newspapers" (TIME, Aug. 28).

As a White House staffer sardonically remarked: "We could rent out offices in the HUD building. Nothing is going to be going on there anyway." Lynn speaks of moving toward the goal of decent housing for every American family, but he is not likely to be allowed to go far in that direction. A Cleveland lawyer with big corporate clients, he asked for a job in the Nixon...
