...crisp and noncommittal. His only barb, in fact, was aimed not at the North Vietnamese but at the French. He reminded them that the first Paris conference he attended helped set up the Marshall Plan, "20 years ago almost to the day." Added Harriman: "I have many warm memories of those days, and of the close cooperation we shared with France...
...Barrington project most closely resembles World War Two army housing. It is not an urban ghetto like Roxbury, but neither does it have the suburban appearance of Watts. There are few trees, but many open sewage ditches. The air is warm and heavy like a Southern town. Down at the Barrington Lounge, the local hotspot, you wouldn't be surprised to find Rod Steiger roughing up a few of the "nigras...
