Nixon was taking "the long view," and his Administration is not prepared, at present, to alter the U.S. position. The question remains whether "the long view" should not get somewhat shorter. Should the U.S. begin to change its policy now and start laying the foundation for eventual reconciliation? If so, can such an effort be successful...
...evaluating our policy means weakening it," says former Congressman Walter Judd, a longtime friend of Nationalist China. Even such moderates as former Under Secretary of State Nicholas deB. Katzenbach uphold the older view. "It is China's position that is inflexible-not ours," he says. "Our relations are not bad because of something we are not doing."

In view of China's limited industrial capabilities and shortage of foreign exchange, such trade would be modest in any case-perhaps up to $10 million a year initially, rising to possibly $100 million after five years...
...return to earth, Apollo 10 scored a near bull's-eye landing just three miles from the recovery carrier. TV camera crews aboard the Princeton first caught a spectacular view of what probably was Apollo 10's jettisoned service module, glowing like a blazing meteor as it streaked across the predawn sky before being completely consumed by the more than 5,000° F. heat of reentry. Then, silhouetted against the lightening sky, the bulbous command module came into view, dwarfed by the trio of 83-ft.-wide parachutes that slowed its descent. As the module drifted down...
Construction of improved air towers, radar and instrument landing systems has been hampered by the tendency of Congress to keep appropriations low except when crashes focus public attention on air safety. This parsimony seems dangerous in view of the fact that in the U.S. last year the number of fatal accidents in general aviation increased 15%, and the number of airline fatalities per 100 million passenger-miles rose from...
