...antagonisms between 'human' and 'non-human' becomes less of an issue, there are fewer, and fewer left with a strong belief in the original concept." said David Armor, assistant professor of Social Relations...
...much of 1969, the threat of a major conflict hovered over the 4,500-mile frontier between the Soviet Union and China. In at least two all-out battles this year on the Ussuri and Amur rivers, which separate Siberia and Manchuria, the Soviets called in armor and heavy artillery to pound the Chinese. Tensions rose to the point where the Soviets hinted that they might even launch a preventive strike against China's nuclear installations unless Peking agreed to negotiations aimed at settling the conflict.

In the village of Ras Zafarana, the tanks destroyed another radar, then radioed Tel Aviv for permission to attack a detachment of Egyptian armor parked farther south. Because the convoy had already been in Egypt for ten hours?suffering one man wounded during the whole time ?headquarters ordered them home. Landing craft picked up the soldiers and ferried them back unopposed...
