Nuclear Swap. For all the new optimism on the East River, Fanfani faces an agenda that gives little hope of smooth sailing. Once more, Red Chinese membership will be proposed, though with less feeling: Peking's brutal ultimatum to India has undoubtedly cost it some support among non-aligned countries. There will be demands for a vast disarmament conference that would include Peking, which the U.S. is not likely to welcome. The future of peace-keeping operations remains unresolved and controversial. To these familiar problems a new one has been added: Pakistan's threat to withdraw from...
...buzz saw," Smith shouted into his radio as two choppers crashed. Smith lost all three of his company commanders, had 24 of his 28 helicopters hit or disabled, got only half his troops on the ground and into battle.

"What astonished me most," says Suyin, marveling at Mao's benevolence, is the sight of "old warlords...
Everybody is entitled to his opinion-but in the eyes of many editors, Columnist and Author (The Day Christ Died) Jim Bishop was voicing some very peculiar opinions last week. Bishop took a two-week vacation in sunny Haiti, where an especially brutal dictatorship dishes out voodoo, terror and death. In five columns distributed to 159 newspapers by Hearst's King Features, Bishop wrote as if he were in a delightful if somewhat seedy country of racial harmony, fiscal integrity, health and peace...
