...bloodiest action was at Chhamb, a flat plateau about six miles from the cease-fire line that since 1949 has divided the disputed Kashmir region almost equally between Pakistan and India. The Pakistanis were putting up "a most determined attack," according to an Indian spokesman, who admitted that Indian casualties had been heavy. But he added that Pakistani casualties were heavier. The Pakistanis' aim was to strike for the Indian city of Jammu and the 200-mile-long Jammu-Srinagar highway, which links India with the Vale of Kashmir. The Indians were forced to retreat from the west bank...
...would be safe to say that El Topo is the bloodiest movie ever made. There is no five-minute period of it without either a mangled body, a disemboweled animal, or a death, exaggeratedly bloody to the same degree that Hollywood traditionally exaggerates death's neatness.

They also boosted their troop force...
Last week, in the bloodiest of a long series of skirmishes over the building of Tokyo's new jetport at Narita, some 40 miles southeast of the capital, that code was violently broken. Nearly 5,000 riot police were on hand to help airport officials expropriate three parcels of farm land that were holding up the last stage of construction. The farmers were grimly determined to resist seizure of their ancestral tracts. So too were some 3,000 student activists...
