...such major cities as Moscow and Leningrad, is now believed to be spread through much of the country. Though its distribution is still spotty, it is beginning to bear the marks of a network of defensive missiles in a C-shape, with the open mouth of the C facing eastward to the vast China landmass. The system thus would be athwart practically every path that U.S. missiles -launched from silos in the continental U.S. or from aboard submarines in the Atlantic or Mediterranean -would have to cross in order to hit major cities and installations in the Soviet Union...
...tired, and somewhat unsettled by the heavy swells of the sea, Wilson and Smith met briefly in the wood-paneled captain's quarters of the Tiger, then went to bed. Two hours after dawn, the cruiser weighed anchor, wallowed out into the stormy straits and headed eastward into the Mediterranean. Except for their advisers and the Tiger's somewhat baffled crew, Wilson and Smith were alone...
Charles de Gaulle climbed aboard an Air France DC-8 last week and headed eastward around the world. His trip was to last 19 days, and it would undoubt edly bring the glory of enlightened Gaul to three continents. In Ethiopia he was to confer with Emperor Haile Selassie on the future of Africa. In Cambodia he was to meet Prince Norodom Sihanouk, presumably to condemn the war in Viet Nam. In Tahiti he was to watch the detonation of the eighth nuclear device of his celebrated force de frappe...
...large road. The trail winds and turns, the trees growing thicker in a narrow valley.' Sometimes we lost sight of the road. But it seems safe to conclude that it is one continuous trail capable of carrying trucks from Cambodia through Laos into Viet Nam. We flew eastward, diving to less than 1,000 ft. for as close a look as we could get. We decided to unload our ordnance-two napalm canisters, 24 rockets and 700 rounds of .50-cal. machine-gun ammunition per plane-in a heavily forested area about four kilometers north of the Cambodian border...
...Western railroads get the worst of this arrangement. In the U.S., the heaviest flow of bulk-product rail traffie moves from West to East, as Western states ship their grains and other raw materials eastward for finishing. Once a Western-owned boxcar has ar rived in, say, New York, an Eastern operator simply takes it over and keeps it-paying that nominal rental fee dictated by the Association of American Railroads. The two lines currently hardest hit by this system are the Great Northern, which owns 22,800 boxcars but now has only about 48% of that number...
