...politics at a slightly lower level: by legitimizing the Front as a political party so that its members could vie for seats in the National Assembly like any other group. Cabinet seats would be denied them until they had demonstrably earned them at the polls. But, from the U.S. viewpoint, there are grave dangers in such a course. The Communists are far and away the best-organized, most cohesive political force in South Viet Nam, and in a free election could probably attract more votes than the population they currently control-perhaps getting as much as 35% of the vote...
...apiece. That would be about $15 above the market price when the offer was first made, although the Hughes magic started ABC share values spinning last week, and the stock closed the week at 68 1/4, up ten points. A major objection from the network's viewpoint is that a cash purchase would make sellers liable to capital gains taxes. Goldenson would much prefer a stock swap that could be taxfree...
...issue. A subjective oddity is that in the Atlantic, it seemed weighty and formidable, one of those worthy projects the reader sets aside for a time when his mind and calendar are clear. But in hard cover, the text seems brief and often irritatingly superficial. Wakefield's viewpoint wavers. At times he is the visitor to a small planet-aloof, amused, rational, watching the antics of the savages.

"They wouldn't have come," said he, "unless they had expected more than propaganda out of this exercise." Accordingly, Harriman proposed that both sides get down to substantive and secret discussions. For the present, Hanoi has pooh-poohed the suggestion. Nevertheless, U.S. diplomats expect Hanoi to realize eventually that...
Some of the protesters merely object to the abuses of infant baptism, but oth ers go much farther, saying that baptism is only meaningful when the in dividual involved understands the significance of the ritual-a viewpoint that has lately been adopted by a number of other Protestant and even Catholic thinkers. In the Roman Catholic Church -which requires parents to have their children baptized as soon as possible-several progressive theologians have seriously suggested that the ceremony be postponed until puberty, when a youth presumably is mature enough to accept or reject his faith. Perhaps the most formidable challenge...
