Humphrey refused, of course, primarily because the U.N. job would not have permitted him the necessary latitude to criticize the incumbent's policies. When the Vice President decided to take leave of government entirely, Nixon called on his own experience to make the move a bit easier. Remembering his dejection at having to travel back to California aboard a commercial aircraft in 1960, the President arranged for Humphrey and his wife to arrive in Minnesota aboard a presidential 707 Air Force jet-a bigger plane than he normally commanded as Vice President...
...Communists' inability or unwillingness to mount a larger series of assaults than they did last week made the President's indecision a little easier. Unlike Tet last year, the attacks caused no real upset of the balance of power in South Viet Nam. Allied forces were not forced to redeploy, nor did any important defenses budge.

They may prevent not only "horizontal" mergers with competitors, but, to a lesser degree, "vertical" mergers with suppliers...
...this petition failed to realize the racist nature of "An End to Urban Violence." They should read the prospectus, which calls for course students to plan strategies for counter forces for use in Black communities in rebellion, to redesign "spatial relations" to make it harder to seek shelter and easier to move troops, to find a "critical mass" population density that might lead to violence, that sees "riots" as emotional outlets, and Black people as basically incapable of solving their own problems. And the results of these "intellectual investigations" were to be presented to a "limited, invited audience" and then...
