Then, in an obvious effort to drive a wedge between North Viet Nam and Red China, the President said: "Communist China apparently desires the war to continue, whatever the cost to their allies. Their target is not merely South Viet Nam. It is Asia. Their objective is not the fulfillment of Vietnamese nationalism. It is to erode and to discredit America's ability to help prevent Chinese domination over all of Asia." Speaking slowly and emphatically, he added: "In this domination they shall never succeed. And I am continuing, and I am increasing the search for every possible path...
...second example is the filibuster. In the same Congress in which conservative use of this device against its traditional target, civil rights, was dealt a death blow by the urgency and overwhelming popularity of the issue, liberals found the procedure of invaluable use. A highly conservative measure directed against Supreme Court involvement in the reaportionment issue, the Dirksen-Mansfield amendment--note the participation of bipartisan leadership in this conservative measure--had been added as a rider to the foreign aid bill and seemed sure of passage.

...chief ideologue Leonid Ilyichev, replaced him with Party Secretary Petr Demichev.

Now that the quick-draw days are over, she has popped back into fashion with hairy sculptures tattooed with more images, inscriptions and plain gunk than any statue in the park. Her Sappho, lounging beneath...
Desperate Ploy. At Hughes Aircraft Co. in California, however, three young engineers, Drs. Harold A. Rosen, Donald D. Williams and Thomas Hudspeth, were anxious to shoot for a higher target-nothing less than the 22,300-mile synchronous orbit conceived by Clarke back in 1945. They were sure they could lick its formidable problems, but they could not convince the Hughes management. "One day," says Hughes Vice President Lawrence A. Hyland, "Williams walked into my office and laid a cashier's check for $10,000-his entire savings-on my desk. 'Here's what I want...
