...third caucus over Lebanon was called by Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, who summoned the ambassadors from four Arab capitals to Paris for a meeting last week. Joining the group was Talcott Seeyle, 54, a longtime Arabist and former ambassador to Tunisia, whom President Ford appointed "special representative" to Lebanon after the murder of Ambassador Francis E.

The real issue is only partly his credentials as a scholar: the larger question is who will chart the institute's future...
Andreski's prime example of the "nebulous verbosity" of social scientists is his fellow sociologist Talcott Parsons. For example, instead of saying simply that a developed brain, acquired skills and knowledge are needed for attaining human goals, Parsons writes...
