While he concedes that reporters must point out the errors of public officials, he deems it unfair to blame Presidents for "everything from the generation gap to the price of bread." And he especially deplores "criticism of their character, in terms so stark that it makes them appear monsters who have imposed themselves on a helpless people...
Bucher rehearsed Pueblo's tragic odyssey before a panel of five admirals in the stark auditorium of the Naval Amphibious Base at Coronado, Calif. His wife Rose sat in the front row, and he appeared at times to enjoy the opportunity to tell his story. The Navy made it clear that this was an inquiry, not a trial. However, depending on the testimony, the panel will have to decide whether there is cause to recommend bringing charges against the commander or his crew.

...familiar landscapes, Sāo Paulo also has an early study of a Negro model painted in 1866 that shows the young Cézanne was working even then at the plastic shapes, low-keyed values, and flat planes that would eventually supplant the impressionists.

A recent complaint to India over an attack on the Chinese embassy in New Delhi was stern but matter-of-fact, and there was no counter-demonstration in Peking-in stark contrast to 1967, when at least twelve foreign embassies were besieged by Red Guards at one time or another. There is also evidence that overseas Chinese communities, most notably in Hong Kong and in Burma, have been quietly told to go easy on the kind of zealous Maoism that...
