Fearful Aloft. Wallace insists that 1976 will be his last campaign. "For one thing," he explains, "I'm tired of flying through thunderstorms." He has leased a $47,000-a-month BAC 1-11 (it has been named Trust the People) that transports 23 people in oil-baron style. But Wallace is still fearful aloft. Nor, at 56, can he count on his health holding up for another campaign (see MEDICINE). If he is denied the Democratic nomination-a virtual certainty-he is not sure what he will do. Though splinter groups want to run him on a third...

The South Vietnamese government ordered two of its 2,800-ton coastal cutters and four smaller ships to the Paracels to shadow a Chinese flotilla of seven ships including Komar-class gunboats equipped...
Scrupulous Neutral. Meanwhile, South Vietnamese Foreign Minister Vuong Van Bac visited Saudi Arabia to remind King Faisal that on Middle East issues the Thieu government has been scrupulously neutral. The point was well taken, and South Viet Nam was certified as a customer. The Vietnamese would have to do their own contracting for the oil, but the U.S. could continue to pay for it at the higher prices.
