...Vientiane's only two hotels. No American girl who values her reputation enters the Continental bar/lobby; here the French drinking companions are American pilots-employed by Air America, paid by the CIA, earning $1000 a week for airlifting "rice" to tribal villagers, drowning out the echoes of antiaircraft fire with dope and liquor. "Laotian neutrality" and American "food aid" are pretty good jokes when you're ripped...
Missiles and Balloons. On balance, Aswan should prove a tremendous boon to Egypt's 34 million people. To protect it, batteries of SA3 missiles and Soviet-built ZSU-234 antiaircraft guns bristle in the rust-colored sand and rock ringing the dam's foaming gorge. Every night barrage balloons are winched up for added cover against Israeli bombers...
...Israelis have intercepted several Egyptian reconnaissance teams in Sinai, and last week four Egyptian Sukhois made two spy sweeps over Israeli lines on the Suez Canal. Earlier, Cairo complained that Israeli jets were making similar recon flights over Egyptian lines. Without a formal ceasefire, a single, accurate burst of antiaircraft fire by either side could swiftly get the hot war started all over again...
...crisis has merely been postponed. U-2 reconnaissance photographs show that the base is almost complete (see map). In addition to bunkers for storing submarine-borne nuclear weapons, the Russians have built a steel antisubmarine barrier net between the shore and the island of Cayo Carenas and have installed antiaircraft emplacements. They have also built a pier for docking submarines and elaborate rest and recreation facilities. The bay now contains two storage barges designed to receive the discharges of nuclear-contaminated effluent from submarines. The tender that touched off the September announcement is still cruising the Caribbean, and could return...
...stop shooting down U.S. planes. The daring raid on the Son Tay P.O.W. camp near Hanoi showed that the U.S. could mount a landing deep in North Viet Nam with near impunity. The bombing attacks the same night, involving some 250 U.S. jets, went beyond North Vietnamese antiaircraft defenses to include large concentrations of troops and supplies massed just inside North Viet Nam near the Laotian border. Early last week a lone U.S. F-105 fighter-bomber attacked an antiaircraft-missile base in North Viet Nam. To justify the pre-emptive strike, the Pentagon came up with still another coinage...
