...housing shortage and to mitigate industrial concentration in London. But the London ring achieved neither of these purposes. The development of the towns was retarded by so many battles between different levels of government and local interest groups that most of them took ten years to get off the ground. Moreover, while some London industry moved out to the new towns, other companies just replaced them...
...most thoughtful discussion last week concerned the possibility of a bombing pause (TIME, Oct. 6). Insistence on a halt in attacks on the North came from all quarters. Massachusetts' Republican Senator Edward Brooke, who only seven months ago came to the support of the bombing, switched his ground to demand a halt to heed "the call of the nations of the world."

...Viet Nam. The AH-1G Huey-Cobra, a waspish two-man whirlybird with a top speed of 219 m.p.h., can pack a 4,000-round-per-minute machine gun, a grenade launcher and 76 air-to-ground 2.75-in. rockets.

He averaged only 85 yards a game by passing...
...much more of a detached observor than an active policy maker or suggestor of policy. His dispassionate attitude toward what might conservatively be called the most dangerous world crisis in the last 25 years gives the feeling that Vietnam is, first of all, another fascinating case study, a testing ground for theory. "It's not hopeless by a longshot," Huntington remarks. "It's not too good, but it's not too bad. What we need is an awful lot of patience...
