When the discussions finally wound up in midweek, the two governments released a joint communique that officials described as a "subtle roadmap" for future relations. In most respects it was similar to the carefully nuanced Shanghai communique issued after President Nixon's February 1972 visit, which formulated the "one China" principle -that is, that Taiwan is a part of China. The issue was defined then as one for the two parties to work out for themselves. This time, however, that statement was omitted, which some American officials interpret as meaning that it is up to the U.S. to make...
...alike could gamble away, and the tribe's coffers would fatten. But when the Palomino Bar on the edge of Glacier National Park put in four machines, a federal agent promptly confiscated the one-armed bandits. A tribal court issued a restraining order, and the whole thing wound up before Federal District Judge Russell Smith. "No doubt the Indian tribes were at one time sovereign, and even now the tribes are sometimes described as being sovereign," said the judge. "The blunt fact, however, is that an Indian tribe is sovereign to the extent that the United States permits...
...Bones and The Basic Training of Pavlo Hummel. He has a wildly exhilarating, surrealistic humor that has not been exhibited in the U.S. theater since Edward Albee wrote The Sandbox, Zoo Story and An American Dream.

Finally there is a sense of vocation about the man, that sturdy-ox effort and noble seriousness that O'Neill brought to the task of fashioning drama...
Most Loggins and Messina fans won't mind. They have been calling for more of the same ever since Messina, claiming he didn't like touring, left Poco to produce Loggin's first album, and wound up playing with him as well. Poco has never gained commercial recognition and is disintegrating, while Loggins and Messina are now playing a dizzying series of sell-out concerts. They come to Boston November 29 for two shows at the Music Hall, and tickets are already scarce...
...wrench in the alliance is more severe than at any point since 1956, when Britain and France, along with Israel, invaded Egypt to regain control of the Suez Canal. The U.S., working through the United Nations General Assembly, forced them to retreat. The partnership eventually recovered from that wound, but it took a long time. The convalescence this time may be even longer. The Europeans are far stronger economically than they were in 1956, and the U.S. is, relatively speaking, far weaker. Partly because of President Nixon's initiatives toward detente, the Europeans are less afraid of the Russians...
