...Your story seemed to reach the precise central issue in the controversy over the war. You report Rusk's quoting Harry Truman as saying that we must "support free peoples who are resisting attempted subjugation . . ." Agreed-but note that very important word "free." All the arguments of the Lyndon Johnsons, McGeorge Bundys and Dean Rusks have totally failed to convince thoughtful Americans that the South Vietnamese are, or ever were, a "freer" people than the North Vietnamese. Until they are so convinced, many Americans must continue to regard their country's present military activity as 1) immoral...
...blizzard's main force hit central New York, the East's traditional "snow belt." Syracuse measured 53 in. of snow, Rochester 28.4. Oswego (pop. 23,000), a port city on Lake Ontario, was hit with 101.5 in. Huge, 30-ft. drifts blocked Oswego's main streets. In Syracuse, 40 office girls were trapped for more than two days in Mohawk Airlines offices. In Rochester, a nuptial dinner lasted for three days when wedding guests were snowed in at Temple Beth...

In rural Maryland, gusts blew a rescue helicopter to the ground, killing the pilot, after an attempt to airlift an expectant mother to a hospital. (Mother and baby survived.) In central New York, two people were found dead in their car 300 ft. from the warm refuge of a house that they could not even see in the white glare...

What that box contained the police refused to say, but whatever it was prompted India's Central Bureau of Investigation to assign a team of topflight investigators to try and track down Walcott. His trail led first to Europe again, then doubled back to Pakistan, where he showed up with a converted B-26 bomber shortly before last autumn's border war. The Pakistanis suspected that he was air-dropping watches and gold into India, but before they could interrogate...
When U.S. cities thought about parks in the past, they thought big, tended to put all their greenery in one huge garden. New York, for instance, takes tremendous pride in the fact that Central Park is larger than Monaco. But many city planners, led by Landscape Architect Robert Zion, have argued for years that what cities really need are small parks in midtown where pedestrians can escape from the madding crowd...
