...buzzed in from the north, south and east, tried to box the Nationalists against the mainland. The Sabre jets were outnumbered, 100 to 32. But in a stop-and-go, five-hour battle that extended along a 400-mile arc along the coast (and 50 miles inland), the Sabres danced a jig around the MIGs. When the Nationalist pilots rolled back to Taipei to be saluted with firecrackers and garlanded with flowers, the scorecard read: ten MIGs downed, at least three others crippled. Nationalist losses: none...
...major reason for the Southern students' failure to conform to a certain image lies in the fact that they actually represent a vast divergence of background. Historic sea ports like Charleston and New Orleans resemble Boston or a West Coast port; inland cities like Chattanooga or Atlanta are primarily industrial, farming, and rail centers...
...Nationalist LSMs unload 300 tons of ammunition and other supplies on Shatou Beach. Nothing happens. Several times U.S. ra-darmen see blips easing out toward the convoy from Red jet bases on the mainland, but each time, as if pulled by invisible strings, the blips finally scoot back inland. The U.S. seems to have called the Reds' hand. No Communist gun has fired on Quemoy for three days...
...Effort. Archaeologists were sure that the ruins of Sardis would prove extremely interesting, but they could not excavate them because they did not know exactly where the Lydian Sardis stood. The whole Sardis region, 45 miles inland from Turkey's modern Izmir, is cluttered with Greek, Roman and Christian ruins. When diggers explored this relatively common stuff they did not find Lydian Sardis under it. This summer, a joint Harvard-Cornell expedition led by Professor George Hanfmann of Harvard, made another effort. Last week came the announcement that the site of Lydian Sardis has finally been found...
...Program Manager David Croninger: "We put on a saturation campaign much like an ad agency would schedule to sell cigarettes." Hard-selling its product, the station each day broadcast a windbag of "Hi, kids" spot announcements by such notables as White Sox Manager Al Lopez, Singer Tommy Sands and Inland Steel President Joseph Block. At a monster rally last week (17 cops and a turn-away crowd of 2,500 teeners), Deejay Howard Miller paraded an in-person menagerie of teen-rage songbirds, drew from Singer Eddy Arnold the admission that he quit high school in the tenth grade...
