...Fresh Complaints. The Soviet squeeze against Bonn began almost unnoticed last November, when Moscow dusted off two sections of the 1945 United Nations charter. The clauses gave the victor states (obviously including Russia) the right to intervene unilaterally against the renewal of an aggressive policy by an "enemy state." Russia claims that this applies to any "neo-Nazi" threat in West Germany. The U.S., Britain and France have assured Bonn in the past that the NATO treaty, which guarantees an allied riposte to any attack on West Germany, makes the clauses obsolete. Nonetheless, all three decided...
...reason for the frenzy was the presence in the lake of a game fish whose natural home is in the coastal waters and streams of the Pacific. Coho salmon were being caught in fresh-water Lake Michigan by the thousands. And every strike was a battle. The silvery coho salmon are 2 ft. long, weigh 15 Ibs. and more. "They're all different," said Ron Jenkins of Battle Creek, Mich., who had caught three in his first half-hour. "Some will jump; some will go deep. They'll all fight." Said a farmer who had been trying...
That artillery ambush signaled the opening of a fresh front of harassment, this time along the canal, which has been more or less quiescent since last year's Six-Day War.

Bedouins have lately probed deep into the Israeli-held Sinai Peninsula, successfully mining major Israeli roads and getting within twelve miles of strategic Mitla Pass. In one raid last month, an Egyptian patrol killed two Israeli soldiers and kid naped a third...
...Long caravans wind across distant valleys, as they have for centuries past. In the south, high-walled family compounds housing fierce Pathan tribesmen still stud the countryside. In the bleak mud houses of northern villages, young children often go blind weaving and knotting traditional Bukhara rugs. Nomad Kuchis seek fresh pasture land for their camels and fat-tailed sheep on the desolate plateaus, as chill winds whistle down from the snowy summits of the 600-mile-long range of the Hindu Kush...
Uncertain Journey. Trudeau is a fresh phenomenon in Canada's capital, where furled-umbrella stuffiness has long been the norm. He works in an open-necked shirt, often sniffing or fondling a flower on his desk. His Cabinet meetings are as intellectually demanding as his University of Montreal law classes used to be, and during last summer's 90° heat they sometimes ran for more than six hours. One result is that in two months he has set in motion the most sweeping overhaul of Canada's government machinery since...
