...nuclear-armed bombers and missile-launching submarines-have been made before, but never came close to being implemented. But the British thought they saw signs of progress. Said one Whitehall official: "There are some points which seem to signify an advance, for they pick up what are earlier Western proposals." The British believe, for example, that Kosygin's proposal for nuclear-disarmament zones might be an oblique response to recent hints from NATO's foreign ministers of a desire to negotiate mutual force reductions in Central Europe...
...grew notably liberal. In the House, he supported John F. Kennedy on 95% of all legislation in 1961 and, as a member of the conservative Rules Committee, helped spring many important Administration measures. Honoring a promise to Rayburn, Kennedy repaid that loyalty in 1963 with a judgeship in the Western Texas Federal District Court. Two years later, Johnson elevated Thornberry to the Circuit Court and had him sworn in on the front porch of the L.B.J. ranch...
...Sanh against little Communist resistance, the base continued to come under sporadic artillery fire. Route 9, its supply line to the coast, tied down two Marine battalions on anti-ambush duty.

Each, in a different way, reveals the Truffaut genre: Stolen Kisses, which will soon open in the U.S., shows the rebel as before-but grown to maturity. Again, he is played by Jean-Pierre Leaud, the juvenile star of The 400 Blows. The new project, The Siren of Mississippi, is to be yet another salute to American...
Passionate Madness. Perhaps Russell, for all of his years in the public eye, was and is too shy to sit still and be revealed-even before himself. A better sense of his essential qualities emerges from a reading of A History of Western Philosophy than from this self-portrait. In fact, the most pertinent comments and judgment about Russell himself come in the observations and strictures of others. For example, his brother Frank wrote to him back in 1916: "What the world wants of first-class intellects like yours is not action-for which the ordinary politician or demagogue...
