...committee has not kept an accurate count of how many students have left or are planning to leave. Bennett said, because "everything has happened too fast." The Boston group has been in existence only ten days, and as soon as a staff is formed it dissolves as its members leave for Israel, Bennett said...
...himself in that sortie, added another on May 4 while flying MIGCAP (for "combat air patrol") in a raid on the Hanoi transformer installation. A weekend ago, he and his "gibs" (guy-in-the-back-seat, or copilot) spotted 15 slower but more maneuverable MIG-17s coming up fast during a fighter-bomber raid 40 miles northeast of the Communist capital. The ensuing scramble lasted only eleven minutes ("It seemed like eight hours," says Olds) and ranged from 9,000 ft. down to a scant 100 ft. above the deck...

The arguments between advocates of the different locations flew fast and furious, with contradicting statistics and claims abounding. The essential difference was always one of running the highway through an area of homes and small businesses (Brookline-Elm) or into a prospering industrial sector (Portland-Albany). And if Brookline-Elm were chosen, it would create a natural residential-industrial boundary on one side of Massachusetts Avenue, but on the other side, would leave a substantial strip of homes wedged between the highway...
