...that the Russians meant business and the time had come to face reality and yield before superior Soviet power. Another possibility, of course, was that the Chinese were simply buying time to get through a highly dangerous phase in the conflict and stop the shooting. That would be in line with one of Chairman Mao Tse-tung's dictums: "In defense, the immediate object is to preserve yourself, but at the same time, defense is a means of supplementing attack." The approach suggested flexibility rather than moderation...
...reducing prices, taxes and strikes. The last issue gained special pungency as the wildcat walkout of 6,000 London "dustmen" entered its third week, spread to other cities and yielded Everests of offal similar to those of New York's 1968 garbage strike. On one issue, however, old-line Tories severely tarnished the progressive image that the party is attempting to acquire. They voted overwhelmingly to end Britain's five-year experimental suspension of capital punishment, thus reviving the Conservatives' old reputation as the "flogging and hanging party...
...considerable enterprise. He skydives and sells portable telephones; he used to peddle wigs and manage a rock group called Danny's Reasons. He also has a less frivolous job.

Starr's longest completion of the day went for only 13 yds., and he was leveled eight times by the Viking line for a total loss of 63 yds. The Viking line also forced two fumbles...
...Viking front four have even reached the sobriquet stage: the Four Norsemen (something of a misnomer, since three of the men are Negroes, and only Larsen is of Danish extraction). The key to their success is their cohesive style of play. "They are a highly disciplined group," says Line Coach Bob Hollway. "They don't go crashing all over, each one trying to do the whole job himself. They have a great respect for each other's abilities, and they complement one another perfectly...
