...Arab world, the Soviet proposal met with mixed reactions. Syria and Iraq oppose the plan, as do the El Fatah commandos. Other Arabs, however, seem considerably more interested. Lebanon and Jordan indicated at least tacit approval of the Soviet initiative and Egypt hinted that it might go along as well...
...shape of the conference table. Hanoi and the N.L.F. are likely to insist on a four-sided table that will put each delegation in the conference room on an equal footing. Saigon and the U.S. are likely to reject such an arrangement on the ground that it would give tacit recognition to the Viet Cong. Possible solutions: a round table, or a square one set up in the shape of a diamond, enabling one side to assemble along the upper half and the other along the lower half.

Quiet in the Delta. The level of fighting, to be sure, did not nearly approach the intensity of battle that had prevailed earlier in the year. Whatever tacit understanding to lower the level of violence that had been reached be tween the U.S. and the North Vietnamese seemed to be working, at least in part.

The U.S. retaliated with fire in each incident...
...city's plight, of course, was not one of physical survival-though some cynics argued that New York's complex ills could only be cured if the metropolis were razed and rebuilt. Its breakdown this fall was one of spirit and nerve, a malaise that affected the tacit assumptions of trust and interdependence without which no organism so vast and disparate can possibly function. In what most responsible citizens concede to be one of the ugliest situations in memory, strikes and the threat of strikes pitted not only union against employer-the city-but, worse, black against white...
