...Chinese. Scarcely had Behr arrived before he was on his way to the forward headquarters at Tezpur. Soldier to soldier, an Indian commander told him: "We are hanging by our eyelashes." Emergency living conditions in Tezpur were primitive. "I slept in a tent, and one night a sacred cow ate my socks." reported Behr. After badgering authorities, he was permitted to visit the front lines. In Jeep and truck, the journey took 18 hours through nearly impenetrable jungles and over narrow, rutted mountain paths up to 13,000 ft. high. Says Behr: "No devilish imagination could ever plan any such...

I urge all of you, and I urge all Californians, not to make the same mistake this year. Richard Nixon...
...other thousands of miles are pasture, dotted with grazing cattle. But the western half of the state is ruggedly mountainous, the steep slopes necked with aspen and capped with snow. Colorado is a land of mining ghost towns and booming oil, gas, missile and atom-research centers. Men in cow boy boots and ten-gallon hats still swing off the cattle trains; but now other men, in Brooks Brothers suits, stride purposefully down the ramps of jet airliners at Denver's Stapleton Airfield. Colorado is also the stage for a couple of ig62's most fascinating political races...
