...country-at present. But proposals for bigger steps toward disengagement continued. Charles Percy urged Nixon to halt all bombing and offensive ground operations in South Viet Nam. Mike Mansfield, the Democratic Senate leader, proposed that Washington attempt a ceasefire. He credited Nixon with wanting out of Viet Nam, "sure as hell." That Hanoi knows this too makes the dispute over the propriety of dispute academic...
...similar poll conducted today might show that many more would be willing to stay at home and work at changing the country. To be sure, there are free love communes in West Berlin, pot-smokers and hippies in most large cities, but the mood of the young is, by and large, activist. Significantly, Nobel prizewinning Novelist Hermann Hesse no longer exerts a strong pull on young West Germans.

...Sino-Soviet rift might be under way. Not once during his 15-minute keynote speech did Defense Minister Lin Piao, Mao's heir apparent, specifically denounce the Soviets by name.

It's hard to get up for games when you're always favored and now that Harvard isn't such a favorite...
...husband Ray (James Broderick) tells her that they will find salvation up in Vermont, on acres and acres of farmland. She stands in front of their church, in the growing New England afternoon darkness, wanting to believe him. But he has gone and she is not sure. The camera moves around her, approaching her face from every vantage point, trying to show us what Alice's face has to say about it all. And what is her expression as the darkness sets in? I don't know. My mind tells me it's uncertainty, but my heart says...
