Gondola Cars. The Ho Chi Minh Trail complex through eastern Laos, an area firmly in North Vietnamese and Communist Pathet Lao control, remains the other major supply route. Intelligence estimates that 7,000 to 10,000 North Vietnamese troops monthly filter south. Truck sightings have risen fivefold since the U.S. bombing halt over North Viet Nam: up to 1,000 vehicles are spotted daily, moving north and south. Recently an allied patrol even uncovered a railway track in Laos reaching to the northwestern edge of South Viet Nam. Gondola cars on the line were pulled by men or by trucks...
...Students considering this resolution should understand what most faculty members already know--namely, that the academic department is normally a cautious and careful filter through which courses and recommendations of instructional staff must pass. The CEP does not foresee any academic department's "adopting" existing ROTC courses or instructors without the closest scrutiny to satisfy itself that the course has academic merit and that the instructor is competent to teach it and free of outside control in that teaching. We believe it is more likely that any courses counting toward academic credit would be taught by civilians...
...Apollo 8 movie sequences also include pictures of a reddish earth (shot through a filter on the navigation transit) glowing in the black sky. As Apollo orbits the moon in a nose-down position, the movies show the barren landscape flashing by only 70 miles below, then seemingly reversing in a dizzying maneuver as the capsule rolls into a new attitude. In other color shots, inside the cabin, viewers can see dimly the astronauts shooting pictures out of the window, a flashlight hovering weightless in mid-cabin and finally twirling into place after being nudged by an astronaut...
Letters from Soviet listeners, in fact, filter through fairly often. Some write to complain about programs they consider unfair to the Soviet Union. But many more make it clear that the diversity of opinion expressed in foreign broadcasts provides the most credible source for news about their own country as well as the world. Regular listeners are kept informed about U.S. urban strife and protests against the war in Viet Nam, for example, and the BBC led off a roundup of editorial comment two weeks ago with the disarmingly frank observation that "most politicians must agree that...
...Columbia, because it not only is one of New York's largest real estate owners but also maintains a private Wall Street office to oversee investment of its endowment money. He takes a painstakingly detailed look at Columbia's involvement with the unsuccessful Strickman cigarette filter. As things have turned out, the filter has yet to make any money for Columbia. But the university's initial endorsement pushed cigarette stock prices so high that the University of Texas was able to sell 59,000 shares of R. J. Reynolds and 24,000 shares of American Tobacco...
