...your sterling performance in writing and reporting. For the first time, the other side of the Tet offensive has been released to the much-propagandized public. For the first time, you haven't nailed the armed forces or the Administration to the wall over our policy in Viet Nam. Keep it up and tell it like...
Former Under Secretary of State George W. Ball was the Administration's most articulate war critic when he quit Washington for Wall Street in 1966.

California spends more than $1,000,000 a year to keep sand on its beaches; the city...

Over the years, Youngerman has consistently enlarged, unloosed and simplified his own bannerlike designs, intensifying the colors until his latest canvases almost seem to palpitate on the wall...
