...fire for seven straight weeks. Somehow the city survived. Last week, it was once again hunkering down for another brutal assault. The insurgent forces, who now control most of Cambodia outside the major cities, are currently concentrating their attacks on Neak Luong, a small but vital Mekong River shipping channel 32 miles southeast of the capital. But there are daily rocket attacks in and around Phnom-Penh, and it is only a matter of time, perhaps days, before the full-fledged siege gets under way. All river traffic has been cut off.

Packed with computers, radars and jamming gear, the AW ACS will be able to spot far-off targets, including very low-flying planes, and feed instructions to wide-ranging U.S. combat aircraft. Over the English Channel recently, a prototype plane was able to direct an entire simulated NATO battlefront, even while it was keeping an eye on aerial movements in East European and Russian airspace as far away as Moscow...

Noting that more than 200 African, Asian and Latin American boards are now sending out missionaries of their own to spread the gospel, Graham said: "It is our opportunity to help these new societies to channel missionaries into countries where we as Westerners cannot now go." The exclusion of Westerners and the tottering of old political orders should be considered a challenge, said Graham. "We must capitalize on the spirit of unrest and change throughout the world." As for developing an Evangelicalism that is not controlled...
