...stills, but the movie offers an interview showing Premier Pham Van Dong as a merry little grig who seems about to warble Whistle While You Work. There is also a sequence in which grinning peasants hoist the engine of a fallen U.S. bomber on their shoulder poles and haul it home in triumph like a captured tiger. About a third of the footage is indignantly anti-American: shots of schoolchildren digging trenches ("an outrage and an imposition"), views of a TB clinic allegedly destroyed by U.S. bombs that overshot a bridge ("You mustn't be ill near a bridge...
...wind in the sails had grown too raw by last week for most U.S. salts, and the annual effort of putting up the boats for winter was nearly completed. The usual technique is to haul them out, secure them on cradles and cover them with canvas. The method is timehonored, but in many ways unsatisfactory.

They helped him haul his wares and "did minor repairs in the public toilets." Old Shih, as the Dairen youths affectionately called him, philosophized pungently: "With our night soil ladle, we shall remove all the mire remaining in society and root out revisionism to build a bright new world." As NCNA commented: "Although their hands were smeared with...
...airlines are rapidly building fleets of all-cargo aircraft. By the end of 1968, the number of cargo jets in service will have tripled to about 165, worth $1.2 billion in all. When the next generation of cargo planes begin arriving in 1970-including the Boeing 747, which will haul 2½ times the 45-ton capacity of the 707 freighter-passenger operations may well take the back seat. "Within eight years," says American's Chairman C. R. Smith, "our freight volume will exceed our passenger traffic...
