...diplomatic, that Johnson has thrown at him. Along with Secretary of State Dean Rusk, Humphrey has been one of the most persistent champions of the Administration's Viet Nam policy, even though his advocacy cost Humphrey dearly among his fellow liberals. Humphrey has been accused of being Johnson's "water boy," of playing Robin to the President's Batman, of "betraying the liberal movement," of being more militaristic than the generals. The latest attack came last week from Robert G. Sherrill, who is publishing an acerbic book on Humphrey to follow his acerbic book on Johnson. In a foretaste published...
...clear a path for commercial ship ping in the Arctic, conventional ice breakers ride up on the ice and break it downward. The technique has limitations. Forcing the ice down against water resistance reduces the efficiency of even the world's most powerful ice breakers. And broken chunks bob up astern, where they may damage cargo vessels that follow. Often the icebreakers are halted when pressure and friction from trapped floating chunks form a vise along their sides. Now a Canadian inventor, Scott Alexander, 55, has developed a new device that breaks ice upward. The new present seagoing...

Its fascination for me had something to do with clarity and voluptuousness, a preoccupation with perfumes and running water, a hashish atmosphere instead of the heavy barrooms-and-whis-ky Rubens atmosphere of Europe. Now I was struck...
That great wave of massive anti-war feeling that was washing over the country only two months ago has gone back to sea now. And it has left behind calm little peaceful puddles on the beach. People stand over the puddles, look at their reflections in the water and love it. Peace is so wonderful. It makes you forget about...
