...words. But not always. TIME has learned that in recent months there have been severe outbreaks of fighting near the Ussuri and Amur rivers, which constitute the ultra-sensitive border between China and Siberia, where several bloody skirmishes took place in 1969. This time the clashes, detected by Western aerial reconnaissance, have been carefully hushed up. Why? The Soviets do not want to advertise the border conflict when they are trying to assess the murky ideological struggle still going on in China (TIME, Feb. 23). Clearly, Moscow hopes that the winners will decide to be more friendly to the Russians...
...clapped or cheered at liftoff. We climbed steeply into a cloud bank. By the time we were out of it, our speed was nearly that of a conventional jetliner. Aside from a brief sinking feeling shortly after takeoff the flight was remarkably smooth in accelerating. A "mach meter," an aerial speedometer, in view of passengers in the first few rows reached mach 1. There were gasps and cheers.

Learjets and other craft that can fly as high as 45,000 ft. or more are popular for aerial photography and mapping. Small planes are being used to seed crops, salt icy highways, conduct geological surveys, and patrol the nation's coasts.

The snow cover on top tends to ice up or blow away (since the mountain is almost above the timber-line and only scrub pine trees offer protection), but when it's open, an aerial tramway and two T-bars serve it. Cannon has a great front face for mogul skiers and racers and it's served by its own little chairlift that rarely has a line. In addition, it has nice beginner's slopes. Student tickets are half-price on weekdays (with I.D.). 147 miles from Boston...
Brown quarterback Bob Bateman sparked the potent offense that had sputtered in the Harvard confrontation. The lanky passer capped a trio of Brown marches with short touchdown plunges, and hooked up with receivers Kevin O'Keefe and Fred Polacek for a pair of aerial T.D. strikes...
