Other nations were less embarrassed about taking sides. Grateful for Pakistan's moral support in its dispute with Greece over Cyprus, Turkey lined up with its fellow Islamic state. Iran also supported Pakistan. In every Pakistani paper there were photo spreads of President Ayub Khan flanked on one side by the Shah of Iran and China's Chou Enlai, on the other by Indonesia's Sukarno and Turkey's President Güsel. "These are our friends," read the caption in one paper. "They support us," said another. So far, at least, the support has been...
...estimated 3,000 "infiltrators." Deciding that this was not enough, India then moved to strike at the "infiltration routes" themselves. Indian troops crossed the U.N. cease-fire line and occupied half a dozen abandoned Pakistani outposts. Seemingly encouraged by the silence of Pakistan's President Mohammed Ayub Khan, India stepped up the tempo. In the Punch-Uri area, the Indians advanced fully 25 miles.

Post-mortem studies show that, with prompt detection and proper treatment, half of those who die of head injuries could have been saved. Lasting or delayed disability could be similarly reduced, reported Pakistani-born Dr. Ayub K. Ommaya, of the National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Blindness at Bethesda, Md. Detection, however, is doubly difficult in the peculiar and treacherous kind of injury known as "whiplash"-the result of the sudden forward-and-backward snapping of the head that is common in rear-end auto accidents...
