...sign China and the Soviet Union have stopped supplying Hanoi with arms and other military aid--the one sector where Moscow and Peking could reinforce any advice urging a settlement. Informants said reports of China sending new contingents of engineers and road-menders into North Vietnam to repair bomb damage are inconsistent with the idea that Peking is urging Hanoi to come to a quick settlement...
...Soviet Union's self-styled "civil rights movement." A number of prominent dissidents, mostly Jews like Yakir, have recently been pressured into emigrating (TIME, June 19). However, a hard core of activists is obviously determined to keep the movement alive. Physicist Andrei Sakharov, father of the Russian hydrogen bomb and a leading critic of the current regime, last week released a letter he had written to Party Chief Leonid Brezhnev, protesting the increase of "persecution for political and ideological reasons...

Total damage to property caused by such activities: one broken window...

The Red Army Faction in Munich planted bombs at the U.S. Army headquarters in Heidelberg, killing three Americans, and boasts of another bombing in Frankfurt, which killed an American colonel. West German Autobahnen have been strung with roadblocks, and police searched for the remaining members of the bomb-slinging Bonnie und Clyde gang (TIME, June 12). So far, six have been caught. One was Gudrun Ensslin, 31, a minister's daughter and former student of German literature, who was captured in a Hamburg boutique after a saleswoman noticed a pistol stuffed into...
