Since the Phantoms will not be delivered until next year at the earliest, the chief immediate effect was political. The Israelis welcomed Johnson's move as a symbol of U.S. support in the face of a buildup of Arab forces. For the same reason, the Arabs reacted with fury. Still to be determined was how the sale would affect what a U.S. diplomat called a "small but precious momentum for peace" that has been building up at the United Nations...
...Rung Sat (Killer Jungle), now more than 50% devastated by defoliating agents, but still dense enough to serve as a haven for an estimated 800 V.C. troops. Because the narrow Long Tau could easily be blocked, the Viet Cong have been trying hard since the beginning of the American buildup in 1965 to do precisely that. "If a ship the size of the Kalydon could be sunk in the middle of the river at that point," said a U.S. naval officer at Nha Be, "we'd be up to our neck.

Patients must be watched closely for possibly dangerous blood-pressure changes, disorders of the white-blood-cell system and abnormal, involuntary muscle movements, such as gesticulating and grimacing...
Still, a few weak spots have appeared. Businessmen have begun cutting back their hitherto rapid inventory buildup, prompting manufacturers to predict a squeeze on their own sales in the fall. Steel output has plunged to a five-year low as users of the metal dig into the huge stockpiles accumulated as a hedge against the summer strike that never came. Most steel mills are running at only half of capacity, and steelmen expect further declines before orders pick up again. As a result, the Federal Reserve Board reported last week, the nation's total industrial production fell...
