Moreover, Lawyer Nixon's legacy from Lyndon Johnson on the bomb halt is by no means a contract. There was no formal agreement reached between the two sides last October. U.S. Negotiators Averell Harriman and Cyrus Vance merely outlined to the Communists the "circumstances" under which Johnson would feel able to stop the bombers in good conscience.

Curtis, a self-made promotional genius from Maine, who bought the dying little paper in 1897 ($100 cash, $900 later), and Curtis' editor for 38 years, George Lorimer...
