...Cambodian strategy at length. He and Henry Kissinger also chatted informally with Governors Robert McNair of South Carolina, John Love of Colorado, and John Dempsey of Connecticut. On short notice, Nixon dropped in on a meeting of the A.F.L.-C.I.O. executive council, a body that has always been staunch in its support of the war. So it is still, and Nixon took the occasion to report the "enormous success" of the Cambodia venture...
Even though the Nixon Administration has veered away from a strong school integration policy, U.S. Commissioner of Education James E. Allen Jr. has stuck to his own course. Long a staunch opponent of segregation -de facto or de jure-Allen last week issued a statement that seemed critical of the legal distinctions central to President Nixon's March 24 desegregation message.

Nonetheless, I am appalled by the boycott of Mr. Pompidou [March 2] in Congress, and by the childish, uncivilized behavior of Mayor Lindsay, in being "conveniently" away from New York so as not to give Mr. Pompidou an official welcome. Such behavior is a breach of diplomatic etiquette of the worst kind. And all this because of 109 Mirage jets? I do not recall a similar cold-shouldering of Russian leaders by American officials at the time of the Cuban missile crisis, or after the invasion of Hungary or Czechoslovakia. I wonder whether...
