That mystique-enveloped term carries such a patriotic appeal, and reflects so much legitimate public concern, that Nixon may well have won over many people?or at least bought himself some debating time???by evoking it. Indeed, 22 top congressional Republicans gave Nixon an ovation when they met in his office and he vowed "to continue measures to ensure secrecy." Said Senate G.O.P. Leader Hugh Scott: "I hope that the President will receive the same credence that is sometimes given to thieves who purloin documents...
...then, in an age full of descriptions of good and bad trips, should Cas-taneda's sensations be of any more interest than anyone else's?

It was delayed for a full year, indicating that the eleven-man Politburo, which constitutes Russia's collective leadership, has been locked in debate over some issues of major significance to the future...
...seemingly radical views. They sometimes sound like new Jeremiahs. They do not hesitate to predict the end of the world, or at least the end of a life with quality. Yet they hold out hope too. "We are in a period of grace," says Commoner. "We have the time???perhaps a generation?in which to save the environment from the final effects of the violence we have done...
