...military, the number of battalion-and brigade-size sweeps against the enemy has not increased since the peace talks started. But they insist with pride that overall pressure on the Communists has increased-in the form of many more smaller-scale actions. Abrams has found that forays by sub-battalion-size units -companies, platoons, even squads -can be mounted more quickly, more often and in more places. Such surprise sweeps also achieve better results. Thus the general's sting-ray tactics, designed to interdict the movement of North Vietnamese units and supplies, involve the same number...
Businesslike Candor. Like all opening bidders, the President offered only part of what he may eventually find necessary to put up. Even so, given its conciliatory tone and highly flexible sub stance, the Nixon plan had an almost immediate effect on the Paris peace talks. After formally presenting the message to Communist negotiators at week's end, Henry Cabot Lodge could make the optimistic announcement that, despite initial criticism, the other side gave "every indication" of willingness to bargain on Washington's proposals.

Auto Union's new Audi 100, an 80-h.p. model that sells for $2,223, has surprised Wolfsburg executives by competing strongly with the 411, VW's stolid, 68-h.p. entry in the medium-priced market. The basic beetle, which still accounts for nearly two of every three VW sales, is about to get some sportier company. In February, VW entered a joint development venture with Porsche; soon...
...Forget Mercy Humppe and Find True Happiness? is a crack in the face at filmmakers "who have to have endings" or whom Newley thinks are not romantic enough. Naturally, its best success in making this point comes not from characterizations of producers, directors, and writers who make up the sub-plot of Merkin putting together his film, but from the contrast of these with the few good lyrical sequences (Such as Mercy baring her nipples and shivering...
