Canada's move will also give China one more vote in the annual poll on whether to seat Peking at the United Nations, but it will almost certainly not be enough to turn the tide this year. Moreover, even if the General Assembly were to confound all speculation by admitting Peking this session, the question of China's permanent seat on the Security Council, now held by Chiang's government, would remain unsettled.

...does one get to be a liberated woman?" someone asked Martha Mitchell at a political fund-raising party in Miami Beach.

Millington quickly breaks regimental protocol and gets himself cordially detested by everyone from the colonel on down to Drake, his neophyte comrade-in-arms...
...indicator of prices, the so-called G.N.P. price deflator, rose at an annual rate of 4.4% in the third quarter, less than last winter but slightly more than in the second quarter. And, significantly, industrial production fell last month by 1.7%, the sharpest drop in ten years; even if General Motors' workers had not gone on strike (see story, following page), output would have been down by at least one-half...
