...example, no shifts in policy and no mitigation of Gaullist diplomatic arrogance are in sight. In fact, under the chauvinistic new Foreign Minister Michel Debre, French abrasiveness may well increase. The chances for Britain to get into the Common Market are as remote as ever. Nor is there any likelihood that France will heed the plea of Common Market President Jean Rey to abandon the right to veto major proposals and to give the Market's supranational agencies more power to regulate trade. As Common Market Vice President Sicco Mansholt declared: "The Gaullist victory means an important delay...
Since many U.S. church groups are on record as being opposed to the Viet Nam war, there is some likelihood that the symbolic expression of the right of sanctuary will spread further. And it might be more than symbolic. Some lawyers contend that churches could offer temporary protection to draft resisters or other violaters by demanding that police pursuers produce warrants before searching pews and manses...
...youngster, and we did some psychological testing. Jimmy, in tests that are admittedly culture-bound, tested out at an IQ of 125.

The point of this is not the trouble Jimmy will eventually cost this nation but the cost in terms...

For the students, he almost certainly will offer a far greater voice in university affairs, plus...
...reflect the harsh reality of the battlefield, and that reality may be the one that now prevails: a standoff. The U.S. cannot expect to get the kind of settlement it would if the enemy had been routed or were in any immediate danger of defeat. Thus, in all likelihood, some provision will eventually have to be made to give the Communists representation in a Saigon government, presumably through elections. The sticking point, of course, is how to include them without condemning the South to an inevitable Communist takeover...
