...possible for us to have one of the great orchestras of the world." The orchestra has launched a drive to raise $10 million in capital funds, is planning to enlarge from its current 94 players to 105, and is already underwriting more tours. This month it will airlift the entire production of Penderecki's Passion to New York City for a performance in Carnegie Hall. "In a sense," says Orchestra Manager Richard Cisek, "we're declaring war on the big five...
Distorting Dissent. The cleanup bill came to $12,000, but that was only a pittance. In all, the demonstrations cost $1,078,500. The Pentagon spent $149,000 to airlift military policemen and paratroops to Washington, the Justice Department $190,000 in overtime for U.S. marshals, the D.C. government $176,000 in overtime for policemen and another $5,000 for those who ran the workhouse at Occoquan...

Western intelligence reports indicate that Russia has replaced only a third of Egypt's 700 lost tanks, only half of its 50 bombed-out bombers and almost none of its heavy guns. Russia, moreover, has long since stopped its emergency postwar airlift of weapons to Cairo. The Syrians, whom Moscow distrusts, have received even fewer offensive arms.

Continuing rains and Communist pressure last week closed the resupply route from Cam Lo-at a time when most of the CH-46 choppers used to airlift material were grounded for defective tail assemblies. The low monsoon clouds will hinder U.S. air strikes, but the rain will also cause problems for the Communists. "We'll have a better opportunity to catch the enemy on higher ground, where he has to bring his weapons and be careful...
