...increased in the U.S., the Administration acknowledged that an edgy situation had indeed been transformed into a potentially explosive one. When Egypt's Gamal Abdel Nasser announced that he was sealing off the Gulf of Aqaba against all Israeli vessels and other ships that might be carrying "strategic" cargo to the Israeli port of Elath (see THE WORLD), Washington acted firmly. In so doing, the U.S. exerted a sobering effect on the excitable antagonists, and may well have helped nudge them back from the brink...
...While the number of people in the U.S. has gone up 30% since 1950, solid waste-largely as a result of the ever-increasing use of throw-away packages and containers-has gone up a full 60%, to 160 million tons a year, enough to fill 2,000 giant cargo ships.

...garbage dumped from U.S. warships in search of intelligence clues, use trawlers loaded with electronic equipment off Guam and in the Tonkin Gulf to monitor movements of U.S. warplanes and warn their friends in Viet Nam of their approach. The U.S., on the other hand, routinely buzzes Russian cargo ships on the way to Viet Nam for a customs inspection of sorts, tracks Russian submarines in the Mediterranean and elsewhere until they pop to the surface.

A stretched-out version, the 737-200, will accommodate 117 travelers, and also comes as a convertible cargo-passenger plane. Unlike its chief rival, the Douglas DC-9, which has its engines mounted at the rear of the fuselage for a quieter ride, the 737 has its jets slung beneath the wings. The result, claim Boeing engineers, is a lighter plane with a roomier aft portion of the cabin...
