Those regulations had first been devised by the Johnson Administration at the time of the bombing halt, and were carried forward and amended by President Nixon. Reconnaissance overflights of North Viet Nam would continue, and armed escort fighter-bombers would accompany the unarmed photographic craft simply for protection. The rules of self-defense were that the planes could not open fire or drop their bombs unless they were 1) fired on by anti-aircraft emplacements, 2) engaged by MIG fighters in the air or 3) threatened by surface-to-air (SAM) missiles.

...something of an ogre in Libman's eye, so is Columbia Records. Not only did Columbia credit two recordings to Stravinsky (Capriccio for Piano and Orchestra, 1968; Danses Concertantes, 1971) when in fact Craft had conducted them in the composer's absence, but it began taping more and more of the rehearsal sessions in which Craft would drill the orchestra before his older colleague took over.

Already--a giant craft and specialty mall, nested on nearly half a block parallel with Holyoke Center, is half complete. Nearly 40 small businesses have been expelled by soaring rents and the commercial muscle of concessions like McDonald's and Baskin Robbins. Max Wasserman, the most innovative and prosperous of the Harvard Square landlords, has extensively remodeled more than a score of his properties. All developers expect the JFK center to energize...
