...that Henry Kissinger could not win at the conference table. Nixon obviously felt that the Communists were stalling. On Dec. 14, after Kissinger left Paris, Nixon sent a cable to Hanoi. He warned that unless serious bargaining began within 72 hours, he would renew bombing north of the 20th parallel. When no reply came, he kept his word. The White House believes that the North Vietnamese knew the risk all along. On Dec. 3, the day before the last round of talks between Kissinger and Le Due Tho began, children were evacuated from Hanoi. Last week it was reported that...
...auto executives and plant workers will politely jostle one another for spots in the half-hour lift lines at some of that state's 76 ski areas. In the South, where there are 15 ski resorts, young salesmen and account executives meet Atlanta college girls brushing up their parallel turns before heading for Aspen on semester break. Meanwhile, real estate developers in North Carolina are using ski hills as come-ons to sell lots for second homes.

...other Administration foes saw it, the President was making a summation to the blue-collar jury. In praising the old values of diligence and thrift, he was really advising the blacks, in code language, to go and do likewise. He was asking the nearly impossible. The black has no parallel; he is neither stolid native nor willing immigrant. No historian, presidential or otherwise, can undo 300 years of social damage with the simple-minded caveat "America-Love It or Leave...
