...Building Bellicosity. Should a real crunch develop in the Mideast, would the U.S.-in the absence of U.N. action-intervene? In a speech at Newport News, Va., the President dropped an oblique hint that it would feel strongly compelled to do so. The occasion was the launching of the 61,450-ton attack carrier John F. Kennedy, christened by Caroline Kennedy, 9, with her mother Jacqueline standing alongside as matron of honor and a clutch of Kennedys near by. While earnestly praying that "this majestic ship" would sail the world's oceans in peace, Johnson noted that she might...
Secrecy. Disclosure of Spain's contract with null marked the end of 21 years of secret and almost byzantine negotiations. For as soon as Spanish geologists found the rich phosphate vein back in 1963, Generalissimo Franco's ministers forbade publication of any hint of the discovery. They had good reason for their reticence. The political situation in northern Africa has long been touchy: both Morocco and Mauritania claim the Spanish Sahara. Occasionally, they have gone so far as to threaten to back up their claims with force. Moreover, Spain has been under mounting pressure...
...Bolivia, a band of 100 or so Castroite guerrillas is active. The government got the first hint of their existence a few weeks ago when an army patrol ran into an artfully concealed ambush in a mountainous area 350 miles southeast of La Paz, lost seven men. A subsequent army sweep turned up a recently deserted training area complete with field hospital, bakery, and other clues of the Cuban presence. Bolivia's President Rene Barrientos ordered a Ranger battalion to make pursuit; so far, the army has killed ten guerrillas and captured ten, including a 26-year-old Frenchman...
...hardly eager for another confrontation with Nasser-whose air force last week bombed the Saudi town of Najran, near the Yemeni frontier, for the third time this year. The British may be getting the point. Last week British Foreign Secretary George Brown appeared in Parliament with a first hint that Britain might at least consider staying on in Aden for a while. It was still the government's intention to leave, he said, but only on condition that it "leave behind a stable and secure government in South Arabia...
...unsigned 7-to-2 majority opinion set no new obscenity guidelines. But it did hint at some. The court noted that the cases before it had not raised the question of "pandering" or "titillating" advertising, the basis last year for the court's upholding of the conviction of ring distribution of licentious material to juveniles or at protecting the public from being unwillingly exposed to such material. The virtually gratuitous mention of the three unraised questions seemed to indicate that the court may eventually look favorably on laws which specifically attempt to keep smut from children...
