VIET NAM. The U.S. will continue the program outlined in Nixon's Nov. 3 speech and seek peace in Southeast Asia through two means-Vietnamization and negotiation. The U.S., Nixon reports, has made progress at the former, but not at the latter. Nor does Nixon see any signs of an impending Paris breakthrough, though he remains cautiously hopeful.

The Grand Rapids program was soon followed by a similar test in Newburgh, N.Y. The results were checked against the dental decay rate of children in comparable cities without fluoridation: Muskegon, Mich., and Kingston...
...must confront or conjure up an enemy of impressive stature. In the early '60s, he was having trouble organizing the Woodlawn neighborhood of Chicago until the University of Chicago presented itself as a fat target. Planning to tear down part of Woodlawn to make room for an expansion program, the university committed the tactical error of attacking Alinsky as a provocateur. That convinced the suspicious Woodlawn blacks that Alinsky was on their side. When he started organizing the Negro ghetto in Rochester in 1965, Alinsky found another suitable opponent in the Eastman Kodak Co., which refused to deal with...
