As Humphrey talked, De Gaulle shook his head, said gloomily: "You will never win." Continued American military pressure, De Gaulle observed, will only make Hanoi more stubborn. They agreed on only one point: that North Viet Nam had shown no sign whatever of willingness to negotiate...
...Tired of waging a pre-Promethean struggle with stubborn charcoal? Caloric of Topton, Pa., has produced a gas-fired grill that looks like the standard charcoal brazier but uses gas-heated, long-lasting ceramic briquettes.

The wealthy Sun papers-the Sun, Evening Sun, and Sunday Sun-carry almost as much advertising linage as the New York Times. By spending lavishly on news coverage, they make just about everybody's list of top papers in the U.S. But they spend precious little on their own employees. They pay a top minimum of $150 a week for experienced reporters; 61 U.S. papers pay higher salaries, including the Kenosha News...
