...most provocative visitor so far -judging by the number of callers totted up by the phone company - was Stokely Carmichael, who was dialed by 64,440 Americans. In customary form, Carmichael told one listener who wondered about the impact of nonviolence on whites, "You should ask Martin Luther King that question." A white guest who stirred a big switchboard jam was New York's Mayor John Lindsay. Quizzed on the war in Viet Nam, Lindsay replied that it was "unproductive, unwanted, endless, bottomless, sideless, and its cost is unquestionably affecting the problems in our cities." Another night, White Radical...
...week, when remnants of the Soviets' Cosmos 61 shot whirled out of space, NORAD's cameras, radar network and computer banks watched the descending debris until it was finally incinerated in the atmosphere. Other eyes also followed its fiery fall. Using NORAD data dubbed TIP (for Target Impact Point), Herbert E. Roth, a Denver-based jet-training planner for United Air Lines, operates a unique one-man satellite-early-warning system. It alerts commercial airline pilots to the possibility of space debris hurtling across their flight paths...
What will be the impact of the encyclical? Almost certainly, schism is out of the question unless a strong effort is made by Rome to silence dissent. Said California's irreverent Episcopal James A.

But he left the cutoff line vague on State Department advice, and the vagueness was deliberate. State strategists figured that the impact on world opinion would be greatest if immediately after his statement the bombing frontier was dramatically cut back to the vicinity of the 17th parallel. Diplomats assumed that the Pentagon would understand these motives. But the generals, aware that the President, on strictly military grounds, had actually drawn the line...
...assertion also does not accord with the facts concerning the obstacles to the current "food for Biafra" projects. The Vatican, the International Red Cross, the London Times, the New York Times (to mention only a few) have consistently stated that if the relief efforts are to have any impact on Biafran starvation, food must be transported by land from the rest of Nigeria, because of the inadequacy of airport facilities in what remains of Biafra. The Nigerian Government would surely be responsible for Biafran starvation if she refused to permit the transportation of the badly needed food. Fortunately this...
