...detected a couple of dangerous loopholes. The resolution said nothing about the shipment of foreign arms and equipment into the Congo, and did not give Hammarskjold's men the right to intercept such contraband. This was, after all, the key to peace. But when the U.S. proposed amendments to close these loopholes, some of the resolution's backers were strangely reluctant to agree; one of them was Nasser's U.A.R., which had been trafficking in arms for Gizenga for some weeks and perhaps wanted to continue doing...
...Regrettable incident," the Quai d'Orsai conceded. But why had the Ilyushin failed to respond to radio and visual urgings to get back on proper course? Reason for the intercept and the warning shots across the bow was that the Ilyushin had strayed inside what the French have marked off as their 80-mile "zone of responsibility" off Algeria.

One job of the electronics-crammed destroyers will be to detect small fishing boats or yachts-or possibly foreign submarines-and prevent them from...
...start, The Game took on the air of a staged affair, as ABC-TV directors wandered all over the Stadium seemingly ready to cue in the players on where to run, when to fumble, and--unfortunately--how to intercept passes. But the game produced several interesting surprises, and even the score was not the 55 to 0 mentioned in Yale's pre-game script...
