...though a lone irate Republican in Congress telephoned Henry Kissinger to complain that Nixon should have saved the speech until after the World Series, the President had good reason to be happy with his performance. Should the Communists eventually agree to his proposals, he will have made the enormous stride of ending the killing in Viet Nam. Even if his plea is rejected, he will still get credit for trying to follow a Churchillian dictum: "To jaw-jaw is always better than...
...Lindbergh sighted a lone figure on the beach below. "At 1,000 yards, my .50-calibers are deadly . . . I cannot miss . . . My finger tightens on the trigger. A touch, and he will crumple on the coral sand." But there is something about the potential victim's bearing, stride and dignity "that has formed a bond between us . . .

What is going on? Reporters stride through the quiet, tree-shaded boulevards for a rendezvous with the diplomats-the Australians and French, Russians and Americans, Israelis and Vietnamese. They meet in restaurants like the Café de Paris and Venice, and over rich red wine and Chateaubriand, served silently by white-coated Cambodian waiters, diplomats and reporters trade information. No one has the whole story. In Phnom-Penh, everyone is a gatherer of bits and pieces of information. "Did you hear?" the reporter asks, and then delivers a nugget of information to the diplomat. The diplomat reciprocates. They go their...
