...youngest leaders in the Communist stable and the party's oldest war horse met last week to create more worries for the Kremlin. Rumanian President Nicolae Ceauseşcu, 49, and Yugoslav President Josip Broz Tito, 75, first donned loden coats and tramped with shotguns through Tito's slushy game reserve in Croatia, loaded for deer. Back for a talk at Tito's hunting lodge near Osijek, they took more careful aim at a larger target: Moscow's campaign for a grand conference of Communist states...
...meeting was a reconciliation as well as a chance to compare views on a bothersome issue. Though they both are striving to keep the Russians at a distance, the two biggest revisionists in the Communist bloc have not been getting along ever since Ceauseşcu declined to support the Arabs in their fight with the Israelis in June. At a gathering in the Kremlin, Tito took aside Rumanian Premier Ion Gheorghe Maurer in a corridor and upbraided him for his refusal to toe the pro-Arab line. He then went home in a fury and canceled an invitation...
...tendency to lecture the troops, even to preach. To Christian and non-Christian alike, he emphasized the divinity of Christ, appealed for stoical acceptance of death on the battlefield and quoted Sherwood Anderson, Joan of Arc, Shakespeare and the Bible. As the troops were eating Christmas dinner at Cu Chi northwest of Saigon, Romney made a little sermonette, suited, if for anything at all, for Good Friday.

...complex to be completed, took a group of eight U.S. companies led by Guy F. Atkinson Co. of San Francisco less than six years to build at a cost of $510 million. The embankment stands 380 ft. high, is 11,000 ft. long, and holds 75 million cu. yds. of dry earth and rock. It is the world's fifth largest earth-filled dam and has the largest-capacity spillway, discharging 1.2 million cu. ft. of water per second, four times as much as Niagara Falls. Five 36-ft. tunnels drain the river; a subsidiary dike completes...
...were on hand for last week's Southern 500. The cars they saw whipping through Darlington's straightaways at speeds up to 155 m.p.h. were anything but stock. Hidden under the electric-blue hood of Petty's Plymouth Belvedere GTX was a 426-cu.-in. "hemi-head" racing engine that generated 520 h.p. and burned gasoline at the rate of a gallon every three miles. The car's exhaust system, brakes, ignition and suspension had all been rebuilt at the Petty garage in Level Cross. The interior was stripped to make way for roll bars...
