...professor's critics mounted an angry counterattack. "Oh, Professor Bickel's position is just dandy," said Civil Rights Attorney Marian Edelman. "Just let him explain it to all those black kids who remain in segregated schools." Lumping his colleague with John Mitchell, Spiro Agnew and Strom Thurmond, Yale's Professor Fred Rodell wrote that "The dominant domestic policy of this antediluvian league is to liquidate the work of the Warren Court for civil rights and civil liberties and replace it with resegregation and law and order."

He said soothingly that Nixon "understands the South...
...Poland's western border. This week Foreign Minister Walter Scheel is due in Moscow to continue-and possibly conclude-negotiations with the Soviet Union over a mutual renunciation-of-force agreement. Paris, London and Washington have all supported Bonn's initiatives-notwithstanding South Carolina Senator Strom Thurmond's charge last week that Brandt was moving toward a "one-sided surrender" to the Russians. In short, Brandt's progress has been sufficiently brisk to raise conjecture about Ostpolitik's logical finale: What would happen if Brandt should grant full recognition to Walter Ulbricht's East...
