...impact by citing a letter from the director agreeing that the FBI could handle any increased security problems resulting from the treaty. But Rusk's intent was at least partly vitiated by the grudging tone of Hoover's letter and by a later Hoover letter that South Dakota's Karl Mundt, the treaty's most vocal opponent, brought forth. Though the FBI could take on the increased burden, Hoover conceded to Mundt, its work under the treaty would be "more difficult." Rusk, for his part, never denied that the Russians might use consulates for spying...
Fully 200,000 skilled managers and technicians have fled the country; hundreds more are in jail for political crimes. Wheat, usually harvested Dakota-style with giant combines, will henceforth be grown on uneconomical 40-acre plots by government decree. Not even the weather has cooperated with the Baath: 1966 brought a crop failure that severely cut wheat and cotton production and drained Damascus of precious foreign exchange. Western banks have almost unanimously refused to lend further money. To try to recoup some cash, Jadid recently cut the Iraq Petroleum Co.'s pipeline through Syria and attempted to blackmail...
...minus in Physics I, earned a Fulbright scholarship, filmed a documentary in a Manhattan ghetto, and guided Gemini rendezvous in space.

But when it was flashed unexpectedly onto a screen at a meeting of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics in Boston last week, sophisticated space scientists and engineers recognized the terrain immediately. It was a spectacular closeup shot of lunar landscape. That photograph of the moon's Crater of Copernicus, said NASA Scientist Martin Swetnick, is "one of the great pictures of the century...
...Wisconsin, both freshmen Democrats went down; Lynn Stalbaum lost his seat to ex-Congressman Henry C. Schadeberg, whom he defeated in 1964, and John Race fell before handsome Republican Assemblyman William Steiger. In North Dakota, Democratic Newcomer Rolland Redlin was wiped out. Even one Democratic freshman who had been considered a virtual shoo-in for reelection was shooed out: Nebraska's hard-working Clair Callan, after a nightlong seesaw count, finally lost to Fairbury Attorney Robert V. Denney...
