...meeting in Warsaw on Dec. 6. Two weeks before, however, the White House had approved a bombing list including previously off-limits targets in Hanoi. Because of rain and high winds the strikes did not actually take place until Dec. 2 and 4. Why the bad timing? Only a bare handful of men in Washington were aware of both Marigold and the earlier target authorizations. Some simply forgot about the raids as the bad weather delayed execution; others overlooked the connection. But the Communists saw the connection, and the meeting never materialized...
Kerosene-Lit Airstrip. Relief officials estimate that Biafra needs daily food imports of at least 200 tons, a target that a fly-by-night air lift of chartered old Constellations has not been able to meet. A bare trickle of supplies has been flown in, some by the Vatican. The flight into Biafra is a dangerous trip through radar-guided Nigerian antiaircraft fire to a secret, kerosene-lit airstrip that one pilot describes as "little wider than a bicycle path."

Themes and preoccupations as serious as these would be substantially unbearable treated in the context of everyday life--all films would resemble Judgment At Nuremberg. And, just as Poe and Hawthorne made their statements through the heightened reality of romance, the master film-makers are invariably liberated by the specialized contexts...
...Wisconsin-based manufacturer, has yet to solve the nagging profit problems that have made it a tantalizing, if so far highly elusive, takeover prospect (latest suitor: Gulf & Western). In the first half of 1968, profits fell 44% from last year's first half (also poor) to a bare $4.6 million on sales of $416 million. Said the company's beleaguered boss, Robert L. Stevenson: "Steps are being taken...
