...happens possesses importance and immediacy enough to capture both the mind and the headlines. This week TIME opens its survey of the week's news with a description of the pride and affection that marked the celebrations for the Moon Voyagers. Then follows the mystery that cloaks the Green Beret murder case in Viet Nam and the controversy of the Ted Kennedy case -where questions and speculation continue. Two violent conflicts also are dissected: one in Northern Ireland and the other on the Sino-Soviet border. As always, crime is very much on everyone's mind...

Attorneys for the defense, most notably George Winfred Gregory, 31, from Cheraw, S.C., were speaking loud and clear. Gregory, a boyhood friend of Major Thomas Middleton, one of the accused, flew to Saigon last week to handle the case. Authorities in Washington had not been helpful, groused Gregory. "All they were giving me," he said, "was passport instructions." Gregory claims to have it on good authority that last year some 160 double agents were executed, or ordered executed, by Americans.
