Some of Lon Nol's aides would prefer that the U.S. maintain ground forces in Cambodia to support the country's army, which has grown from 35,000 to 140,000 since last March. Asked if he would welcome the return of U.S. ground troops, Lon Nol replied, "No, not yet-not as long as the war is going no worse than it is." So far, he sees no indication that the enemy has started to rebuild the sanctuaries along the South Viet Nam border. In the event of another buildup, he hopes U.S. troops will return...
...Georges Pompidou as his Premier in July 1968. It was particularly shocking in view of the fact that during the disruptive May riots earlier that year, it was Pompidou-not the general-who kept the government running, cooled hot feelings between police and students, and persuaded striking workers to return to the job. Pompidou had also managed the subsequent parliamentary elections for the Gaullists, who won the largest majority that any government had held in nearly 100 years. Upon De Gaulle's resignation last year, Pompidou ran for President and won, but without any support from le grand Charles...
Andy Griffith and Mary Tyler Moore have been coaxed back to CBS and situation comedy this season, but only for Andy does it seem like a halfway happy return. In Headmaster, the old sheriff of Mayberry smartens up and takes over a coed prep school in California.

...highly ambiguous clause in an agreement that Reuther negotiated to end the 66-day strike against Ford in 1967. The resulting conflict is an object lesson of the perils of postponing trouble. In the 1967 contract, the union accepted a ceiling on cost-of-living increases in return for an agreement that compensation for inflation above that ceiling "shall be available" in 1970. The difference now amounts to 26? an hour, which the union considers to be money already owed its members above and beyond any new settlement; the company includes the 26? as part of its 38? offer...
...impasse be settled? One way might be for G.M. to offer a more liberal cost-of-living allowance in return for a lower wage settlement, figuring that inflation will slow during the next two years. Woodcock has hinted at the possibility of such a deal. In a remarkable statement, he expressed his preference for cost-of-living escalators in place of huge wage increases in the later years of a contract. "I believe that if you bargain wages to anticipate an inflation, then you are guaranteeing that inflation," he said. "I am concerned about constantly escalating future wage increases further...
