...interesting that the U.S. considers Warsaw a North Vietnamese ally, but North Viet Nam considers Paris as neutral. This, of course, is the same Pans that the U.S. saved at least twice. Im not sure Moscow wouldn't have been a better site for the U.S. We can at least understand their attitude toward...
...sure, the U.S. has no intention of forcing upon the still fragile South Vietnamese government a coalition that, by including Communists, might well swallow it. Nonetheless, any settlement that emerges from the Paris talks will ultimately have to reflect the harsh reality of the battlefield, and that reality may be the one that now prevails: a standoff.

Still, even Nixon was forced to admit that the Californian did "very well...

Harvard has traditionally deplored the "star system" and pays all its Faculty of equal age and rank nearly the same salary. While unwilling to abandon this principle, the Dunlop Committee is sure that some exceptions are in order if Harvard is to win battles for younger men and thus recommends "some greater degree of administrative flexibility be regarded as appropriate in individual cases...
