...bases in the North, only the one at Gia Lam, which is also Hanoi's commercial airport, has not been bombed-but no more than ten MIGs can operate from Gia Lam. As a result, while 90% of the North Vietnamese force was once kept in the North, about 80% of it is now based across the border in China. The Peitun-Yunnani base in Southwest China harbors not only about 50 MIGs but eight Russian Ilyushin medium bombers not yet used in the war. None of the MIGs have yet flown out of China against U.S. planes...
...Bitterness. The Communists have more going for them than arms. Traditional Northeastern distrust of Bangkok in general and of haughty local officials and police in particular make the government's task difficult. There is bitterness, too; though the rest of Thailand is relatively prosperous, years of neglect have kept the Northeast dirt poor. Bangkok too often obfuscates the Communist threat by claiming that Communist helicopters are landing in Thailand to supply the terrorists (there is no evidence of such) or that the insurgency is an invasion by thousands of Thai-born Chinese youths (the terrorists are mostly Thais...
...coma one day last week. Alerted that death was hours away, a team of 16 doctors who had been standing by for 48 hours quickly readied two other patients for kidney transplants. First they removed the diseased kidneys of a 16-year-old Manhattan boy and kept him anesthetized on the operating table, the incision in his groin covered with a plastic drape. At the same time, they gave presurgery sedatives to a 48-year-old New Jersey housewife who had lost both kidneys to nephritis three months ago. At 5 a.m., the brain-disease victim died; surgeons quickly removed...
Statistically, Expo was a staggering success. Of the pavilions that kept track of attendance, the Soviet ranked first with 10,500,000, followed by the U.S. (9,250,000), Czechoslovakia (7,000,000), Canada's Telephone Association (6,000,000) and Britain (5,000,000). Open pavilions like Canada's and West Germany's, as well as Habitat also attracted millions but kept no official count. Only limited capacity held Labyrinth's attendance down...
...situation. It's another to keep repeating it all your life. In an ideal society, I'd be against compulsory arbitration; yet I think people are a bore who create a theology around private enterprise." It has been a firm conservative tenet that the state must be kept as limited as possible. Yet that belief has run smack into the conservative demand to fight the cold war as vigorously as possible. "Today, as never before," concedes Buckley, "the state is the necessary instrument of our proximate deliverance...
