...that U.S. planes are in fact dropping the Mark 36 delayed-action bomb on North Viet Nam. The magnetic Mark 36, which has extended tail fins to keep it from sinking too deeply in water or mud, is dropped on rivers and canals in an effort to stop the flow of barges carrying military supplies. The same type of bomb, with its fins retracted to effect a sharper landing, is dropped on road junctions. With its retracted fins, it sinks deep into the earth. In addition to the magnetic versions of the Mark 36, there is a nonmagnetic type equipped...
...followed a structurally clairvoyant performance, emphasizing both the subtle interrelationships and the marked contrasts inherent in the composer's material. In the second movement, I felt that so many gentle hesitations before sforzandi and cadences, in conjunction with a tempo leaning toward the slow side, tended to restrict the flow. However, these elements of rubato, although not to my taste, were part of a deliberate, introspective interpretation which never lacked coherence. The readings of the minuet and rondo were exemplary...
...wake of the international monetary system's recurring crises, European governments are erecting ever stricter controls on the flow of capital across national boundaries.

He has also pressed for state legislative approval of a massive annexation plan that would expand the city boundaries to include most of the metropolitan area and, not so incidentally, stem the flow of whites from the center city. Meanwhile, Massell faces a potentially stiff challenge in next year's mayoral election from Maynard Jackson, the city's 35-year-old black vice mayor...
...suspected Schiller of being too probusiness in his thinking. More important, he clashed with Brandt on the question of monetary policy; when other European countries began imposing financial controls to halt the inflow of unwanted, inflation-breeding dollars, Schiller refused to erect any sort of barrier against the free flow of capital into West Germany. Two weeks ago, at a showdown Cabinet session, Brandt sided with German Central Bank President Karl Klasen, who proposed a set of mild-and so far ineffectual-controls on capital movement. These were immediately enacted over Schiller's protest...
