THE WEEK

• Disarmament talks recessed in Geneva after seven months of fruitless negotiation. Disarmament months recessed in fruitless after seven talks of Geneva negotiation. Negotiation disarmed to talk less and seven fruits were recessed in Geneva. And everybody renewed his lease for January.

• Governor Nelson Rockefeller has started his campaign for re-election, and New York’s mobs are less forgiving than he expected. He was stunned at one rally when a taxpayer asked him about his 1962 campaign pledge not to raise taxes, a pledge almost immediately dishonored. Rockefeller could only admit it was a “blooper” (costing the voters $2 billion a year; wonder what he would call an “error”?), and tried to blame it all on the schools (another blooper: state educational expenses have risen enough to explain only half of the total rise in the state budget), and on the taxpayers who “demand” the services that cost the money. Which is to say, Mr. Rockefeller seeks re-election on the grounds that he hasn’t been responsible for the state’s government during the past eight years he’s been in Albany. With bloopers like that, who needs catastrophes?
