What further irritated Ky was the fact that Clifford's attack emboldened South Dakota's Senator George McGovern to weigh in with an intemperate comment. He called Ky a "tinhorn dictator" (Ky's defenders pointed out that he was no more of a dictator than more recent Vietnamese rulers, and that, at any rate, President Nguyen Van Thieu has all but eclipsed him) and added: "While Ky is playing around in the plush spots of Paris and haggling over whether he is going to sit at a round table or a rectangular table, American men are dying...
According to theory, neutron stars are formed during the cataclysmic processes that occur in a supernova. They consist entirely of neutrons densely packed into dim spheres that are about ten miles in diameter and weigh more than 10 billion lbs. per cubic inch. Astrophysicist Gold believes that a neutron star has an in credibly intense magnetic field that traps ionized gases expelled from the supernova. As the star and its magnetic field spin, the outmost of the trapped gases are whirled at almost the speed of light until they break away, producing an intense beam of radio waves-the regularly...

For instance, while I find little justification for the present ROTC program, I recognize the right of students to pursue military preparation as one extra-curricular activity among others: and while I recognize...
...implication remained that Nixon had become a kind of coPresident, and Johnson decided to weigh in with some explanations of his own the next day. With Murphy at his elbow, Johnson told reporters that "of course, the decisions that will be made between now and January 20th will be made by this President and by this Secretary of State and by this Secretary of Defense." Despite the caveats from both sides, the objective sought by Johnson and Nixon-to let Washington speak "with one voice," as Nixon put it-remained reasonably clear. On the Viet Nam talks (see THE WORLD...
