A guest editorial questions Scottsdale growth management and urban design. It asks how to balance expansion with parks, green belts, and walkable Main Street, and ponders design control, professional boards, horse trails, Indian heritage, and support for local crafts and cultural groups.
Former vice president Richard Nixon signs a deal with Pepsi Cola to serve as legal adviser and travel for the company. He will host a magazine contract for a European trip and may write a newspaper column. The arrangement promises substantial earnings and public platform, similar to past corporate ties.
A column notes President Nixon takes a new public relations role for a soft drink firm while discussing wartime A-bomb decisions and MacArthur’s stance. It contrasts this with an East Coast railroad sale led by a boy named Dennis and ends with baseball musings about the Mets and the Dodgers.
UPI reports Diem regime cracked down on Buddhists with pagoda raids and mass arrests led by Ngo Dinh Nhu. Washington raised alarm, disavowing moves, while considering aid cuts and a possible new government or junta to weaken Nhus grip.
Washington observers speculate that Charles de Gaulle may seek peaceful Viet Nam unification under Ho Chi Minh. Ho is described with varied labels from fanatic to kindly leader, yet west knows little beyond his role as a determined Communist revolutionary who expelled France.
Analysis suggests Ho Chi Minh seeks a peace strategy favoring Vietnam with French backing and reduced Diem tensions. North Vietnam shows limited offensive activity and restraint in Buddhist clashes, while hunger and collectivization issues persist in Hanoi alongside cautious Western diplomacy.
The domestic Peace Corps proposal falters for two main flaws. It lacks shared financing with state and local bodies and concentrates power in a federal administrator. Critics urge a rewritten, quasi federal Foundation for National Service modeled after the National Science Foundation to avoid political misuse and boost local participation.
The article recounts the 1962 autumn meeting between Robert Frost and Nikita Khrushchev at Gagra on the Black Sea. F. D. Reeve notes Khrushchev’s political stance amid Cold War tensions and Frost’s cultural exchange journey with Secretary Udall. Frost, Age 88, traveled from Moscow despite illness and climate.
Frost describes a 1960 meeting with Nikita Khrushchev and premiers in Moscow. He argues for no petty rivalry and no propaganda, stressing the moral quality of leadership, the permanence of achievements, and a power balance that avoids nuclear war. Frost labels Mao and Khrushchev as forces to reckon with, urging magnanimity and readiness to defend.
