...Somebody was out to get the hard-driving Reuther boys of U.A.W. But who? And why? The Reuthers had made enemies in their climb to power in U.A.W., but Vic, the quiet union educational director and behind-the-scenes strategist, insisted that he could not imagine who would want to kill him. Walter Reuther wasn't quite sure either: "The same people who paid to have me shot paid to have my brother shot and for the same reason.

To allay South Korean jitters, the U.S. Army is leaving a large part of its equipment, including arms, ammunitions and transports, to the young South Korean army...

From the high school at Popayan 24 miles away, 18 students and a truck driver set off one morning last week to climb the mile-high mountain. Except for two students who got tired and lagged a quarter mile behind, the climbers had no trouble getting close to the top.
