In the early morning, a lone Palestinian fedayeen crept up to a complex of eight pipelines carrying oil from the Haifa refinery to dockside and placed three pounds of explosives under a manifold.

Excess sugar stocks have swollen to 1,000,000 tons and are expected to grow by more than 300,000 tons annually. In Italy, landowners have been forced to destroy crops of fruit and vegetables, and officials at the Ministry of Agriculture are fretting over what to do with 150,000 tons of ripening surplus oranges, more than 10% of the annual harvest...
