...Belated Beef-Up. Last week Pentagon sources revealed that around 50 sturdier Douglas Skyraider dive bombers have already been shipped to Viet Nam and that 75 more would arrive by the end of the summer-to replace both the B-26s and the remaining combat T-28s. Though also a prop-driven World War II craft, the Skyraider is a much more powerful warplane and almost twice as fast as the B26. Armed with 20-mm. cannon, Skyraiders distinguished themselves in Korea for their close support of the Marines. But the improvement is belated. As to the question...

For three straight days, the Times continued to dwell on Tory sins and shortcomings. It was a cruel birching from any quarter. What hurt most was that this one came from...
...Wheat & Beef. Though Argentina is still troubled by inflation and foreign debt, the dynamics of its basically rich wheat-and-beef economy are carrying the country along. Exports this year are expected to exceed imports by $350 million to $600 million-from bumper wheat and meat sales to Western Europe and Red China. Going for Illia are premium beef prices and one of the best wheat crops in history. In La Pampa province alone, wheat farmers this season have harvested 796,000 tons v. 5,300 tons during last year's searing drought. At long last, the cost...
