Last week's raids left only five major targets of military value still unscathed. They were the Gia Lam airbase near Hanoi; the Phuc Yen airbase, 15 miles northeast of the capital; the railway terminal and power plant in Lao Cai, a North Vietnamese town that sits directly on the Chinese border; the piers at the auxiliary port of Hon Gai; and, of course, the docks at Haiphong. But unless the U.S.'s new choke-and-destroy air strategy is suddenly curtailed, all those objectives, except perhaps the Haiphong docks, are soon likely to feel the blast...
...four wheels of their own. The victory meant a fat paycheck of $8,900 per man, v. $5,600 for the Red Sox. Something else too. Just before their homeward-bound jet took off from Boston-and as the first of 8,000 welcomers arrived at St. Louis' Lam bert Airport-a surprise message was telegraphed from the White House inviting the Cardinals to stop over in Washington for a presidential reception. Owner August A. Busch Jr., an old L.B.J. pal, regretfully declined. Wired Gussie: "Our fans are waiting...
There was no question that the government of the Federation of South Arabia was overthrown last week, but where were the people who toppled it?

...Peking's design or impotence, the Communists in Hong Kong also continued to make trouble. Some 40 Chinese pushed across the border at Lowu and menaced the British customs house; Gurkha troops finally drove them back to Maoland with tear gas. And a leading anti-Communist radio commentator, Lam Bun, died of burns after Maoists disguised as street repairmen flagged his car down, doused him with gasoline and set him afire...
...lam, the two fugitives dash from town to town, sleeping in the open air and profitably peddling conned goods between solid slapstick sequences and comic car chases. Finally, there is a farmer's daughter (Sue Lyon). The drifter steals her car-and falls in love with her. Too late, he decides to go straight. Before he can turn himself in to the MP's, the sheriff catches up with the two tricksters and claps them into jail. There Sarrazin realizes that a cage will kill the old buzzard, and risks his life and love in an attempt...
