Rebuff Ahead. Despite the importance of the Viet Nam speech, other events converged on the President demanding his attention. His address on Latin America, which proved more pragmatic than inspiring, drew a mixed response south of the border. The General Electric strike posed a threat to the economy (see THE WORLD and BUSINESS). Nixon was stung by the Supreme Court decision insisting on the instant school integration that he had earlier termed "extreme...
...Taylor keeps returning and returning to the past and to border-state Tennessee as it was, to examine its images and realities. What people think, the complexion of their blushes and disfigurations, the houses they decorate-these are the things Mr. Taylor's stories are about.

...Border Troubles. Helou also telephoned Syria's head of state, Noureddine Atassi, to protest Damascus' support of the guerrilla raids. Atassi had closed the Syrian-Lebanese border, stranding more than 500 trucks along the 68-mile Beirut-Damascus highway, one of the Middle East's busiest trade routes. Ignoring Helou's protests, Syria -or the fedayeen-moved riflemen, armored cars and mortars to the Lebanese frontier.
