...John Connally overplay his bargaining hand and prolong the surcharge at their expense. No country has been as dismayed by Washington's measures or stands to lose as much as Canada, far and away the U.S.'s best customer and most important supplier. Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau two years ago memorably summed up the two countries' relationship: "Living next to you is in some ways like sleeping with an elephant. No matter how friendly or even-tempered is the beast, if I can call it that, one is affected by every twitch and grunt." Now Canadians...
With shocking swiftness, President Nixon's dollar defense measures knocked the pins out from under the non-Communist world's monetary system. Foreign government leaders, many of whom were on vacation, went scrambling to salvage some order out of the enveloping chaos. Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau broke off a holiday cruise off Yugoslavia and returned to Ottawa to assess the impact of the Nixon moves. On the French Riviera, French Prime Minister Georges Pompidou cut short his vacation to hurry back to Paris for emergency meetings. In Tokyo, hasty phone calls summoned traveling Japanese Cabinet members back...

Perhaps the most compelling reason of all is that a détente would further the old Soviet goal of loosening the military ties between the U.S. and Europe...
Happily for Nixon, Soviet Party Boss Leonid Brezhnev inadvertently came to the rescue of the Administration. He made a speech calling for serious discussion of mutual reduction of forces in Europe. Then he hit the point even harder when Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau went to Moscow last week to sign a pact of mutual cooperation with the Soviets. Both Brezhnev and Kosygin suggested to Trudeau that they wanted to pare their swollen defense budget and put the money into sorely needed housing. Thus they helped kill whatever chance the Mansfield amendment may once have had. It was handily defeated...
...with the female roommate the college assigns him. His plights provide one of the first humorous counters to the counterculture, hinting that despite the seeming arrogance of today's undergraduates, campus life is still just a bowl of old-fashioned adolescent insecurities. Doonesbury's creator is Garry Trudeau, 22, a Manhattan blueblood (his mother is Fashion Leader Mrs. Harcourt Amory Jr.) who graduated from Yale last year. No Doonesbury himself, Trudeau is now confidently dashing off his cartoons in Colorado and plans to return to Yale next year to earn a Master of Fine Arts degree...
