...many other western states, Nixon won. He took the Land of Enchantment's 4 electoral votes with roughly 51 per cent to Humphrey's 41 and Wallace's 8. In the gubernatorial race, Fabian Chavez and Gov. David Cargo were neck and neck in one of the tightest races of the night...
Inland Port. The biggest gainer could be little Catoosa, a once bedraggled Tulsa suburb (pop. 1,000), which expects after 1970 to handle 12,500,000 tons of cargo a year, more than the ports of St. Louis, Memphis, Pittsburgh or St. Paul. The new port is also expected to generate 14,000 new jobs and $500 million in investment. But all that must wait until a channel is dug from a big tract of land where cottonwoods, scrub oak and pecan trees now stand. For the present, though, it is rather jarring to see a big white water tower...
Guided by burning flares, a transport plane dipped down out of the night over Biafra last week and landed with a shipment of condensed food for the secessionist state's starving population.

They ran, not knowing what to do with it. "We are going to have to teach a generation of children how to eat again," said a Canadian nurse. In the border town of Ikot...
...slashed 64 flights from this month's schedule. Northeast Airlines scrapped eight in one day. Last year delays cost the airlines $50 million. This year, in the Golden Triangle alone, they are hitting $1,000,000 a day. Uncounted-and largely unnoticed-additional losses come from air-cargo delays. New York Customs Broker Jack Hyams said that Kennedy Airport has freight stacked up "practically to the runway," with three-week delays for some local deliveries after shipments have been landed...
...started dealing through diplomatic channels for the return of the plane, its male Israeli passengers and crew. It may take a while. Algeria formally declared war on Israel a year ago and rejected the cease-fire that ended the six-day Arab-Israeli conflict. Because El Al carried military cargo in the war, Algeria considers it a paramilitary organization. Furthermore, there is local precedent for long detention of unexpected guests. When a private plane carrying former Congolese Premier Moise Tshombe was hijacked to Algiers in June of last year, the Algerians took three months to release the pilots and eight...
