Most of the U.S. officials and private communications experts who visited Peking this month were interested in scheduling and press coverage for President Nixon's trip to China. Colonel Chester Ward, however, inspected Peking Hospital, checking out such matters as anesthesiology equipment and the supply of A-positive fresh blood, the President's type. On returning to Washington, Dr. Ward reported to his boss, White House Physician Walter Tkach, and gave the hospital good marks.

...Home Rule bill was passed by Parliament in 1914, but implementation was put off until the end of World War I, partly to ward off the possibility of an uprising by the militant Ulster Volunteer Force founded in 1913 by Irish Protestants determined to fight home rule.

If they emerge divided from a bruising primary, the Democrats will not be in the best shape to defeat Nixon -and once again Hanrahan may be keeping an eye on the voting machines. The Hanrahan affair could...
Russian Poet and Editor Alexander T. Tvardovsky had died of a stroke at 61. The Soviet Writers Union did its best to keep his funeral quiet, but Nobel-prizewinning Novelist Alexander Solzhenitsyn, 53, whose novels (The Cancer Ward, The First Circle) have been banned in his homeland, made his first public appearance in several years to honor the man who had published his anti-Stalinist novel, One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich. Solzhenitsyn did not speak, but his simple presence made Tvardovsky's funeral a testimony for cultural freedom. Earlier, Solzhenitsyn offered more outspoken testimony...
