...Solemnly he declared: "The dogmas and vocabularies of the cold war were enough for one generation. The world must not now founder in the backwaters of old and stagnant passions." Then the President of the U.S. pointedly noted that the war in Viet Nam posed no threat to "the vital interests of the Soviet Union" and "does not have to stop us from finding new ways of dealing with one another." The President spoke barely a week after North Vietnamese Premier Pham Van Dong and Defense Minister General Vo Nguyen Giap, according to diplomats, flew to the Black Sea, after...
...committee the peculiar, almost unique government of the city of Los Angeles: a bewildering entanglement of jurisdictions that intertwine with county and state and deprive the mayor of authority over most of the city's major functions. The subcommittee, which obviously had not done its homework in certain vital aspects of Los Angeles government, was not interested. As soon as Yorty had finished his opening statement, its members turned to the problem of Los Angeles' disadvantaged minorities and what Yorty was doing about them.

IGOR KIPNIS: ITALIAN BAROQUE MUSIC FOR HARPSICHORD (Epic). The son of the great Russian bass, Alexander Kipnis, Igor Kipnis is a passionate champion of the harpsichord: he adds to flawless technique a virile attack and a vital conviction that the literature of an obsolete instrument can still be exciting music.

If the police force refuses to promote one of the Negro police men to captain, then only invite the Negro police into the ghettos. If the draft tries to take the most vital element out of the ghettos to fight their racist wars, then go rip up the induction centers as we did in Georgia -- "we went in with 11 men last time and they were all arrested we're going back with 50 next time...
...letters to the editor" page could be turned into a forum for ideas which are rarely reported or debated in the press, but which probably carry a greater impact than many of the front page stories. Instead of vital debate on important issues these pages are filled with the prose of complaining extremists. Another way of turning the press into an educational core would be to open to reporters the mountains of unclassified information which pours into Washington every day, but which is stamped with the forbidding seal of "U.S. Government Property." If such sources were available and used...
