Shock Value. Thus the Marines feel that they have already stood and taken practically the hardest punch that North Viet Nam can throw at them until the monsoon ends next April. All the same, military men express considerable doubt about the concept of static defense embodied in Con Thien. Some would prefer to see the Marines make more forays to spike any Communist guns below the North Viet Nam border-as the Israelis did with the Syrian artillery atop the Golan Heights. U.S. military doctrine holds that a force assumes a defensive position only when it is not strong enough...
...automobile industry, where production dropped by 24% in the first seven months of 1967, expectations are general for an upturn in the fourth quarter. Volkswagen, which took the hardest beating, went back to full shifts in mid-August and now has a six-day working week. Companies returned from Berlin's recent radio and TV fair with full order books. Production of color TV sets is sold out till year's end. Inventories in industry as a whole have been running short, with an increasing number of companies about to start replenishing them...
...consumers will feel the new prices. Estimates are that higher silver will cost industry $80 million this year.

He is privately disgusted at the postwar performance of his fellow Arabs: their invective, their whining-they considered it unfair of Israel to have used pilots who spoke Arabic to confuse their foes-and their wild threats to fight again tomorrow. "It is apparent...
...crocodile. Around him the night seethes ominously. When at last he kills his quarry, the screens abruptly fill with white-eyed death masks that seem, for once, as terrifying to the viewer as they must be to the native. Labyrinth's narration is sometimes painfully portentous: "The hardest place to look is inside yourself, but that is where you will find the beast. . ." But for the most part it is a sonic boon, admirably understating Labyrinth's stunning visual display...
