...carnage, followed in turn by further hints of negotiations. The most recent talk about talks became intense in late December and early January, when the North Vietnamese said officially that they would agree to discussions if the U.S. stopped bombing North Viet Nam. Washington followed up with a deep probe of Hanoi's intentions. The chief question throughout was whether Hanoi would give assurances that it would not militarily exploit a bombing cessation. This demand was part of the "San Antonio formula" laid down by Lyndon Johnson in September and later denned as meaning that Hanoi should not increase...
...North Korea, but there still was no indication that Pyongyang was prepared to give the seamen their freedom at any time soon. In fact, the North was as bellicose as usual. It spent much of the week publicizing purported "confessions" by the entire crew admitting that Pueblo had "intruded deep" into North Korea's waters-a ploy apparently aimed at inducing the U.S. to issue an apology in exchange for the crewmen's return. And at week's end Pyongyang loudly claimed that U.S. "armed boats" had invaded North Korea's western coastal waters for "provocative...
...deeply as U.S. subs, and are thus easier to detect. But the Soviets are continually trying to improve.

Sixth ranking Copper Range Co., which normally extracts about 6% of the nation's annual output of copper ore from its 2,000-ft.-deep mine in White Pine, Mich., agreed in late January to an aver age wage-fringe boost of 960 an hour over the next 42 months. Last week Copper Range sharply raised the price of its copper, from a pre-strike...
...source of allied discontent is plain. The winding 400-mile boundary is, from a Communist point of view, delightfully permeable. At its northern end, opposite Vietnam's central highlands, it runs through deep tropical jungle, uninhabited and immune to air observation. Its southern reaches, along the Mekong River, are under five feet of water during the monsoons...
