...frequent condemnation of apathy and general slackness. There is also the tremendous death toll on the battlefield. In an interview with Italian Journalist Oriana Fallaci, North Viet Nam's Defense Minister, Vo Nguyen Giap, was asked if the American claim that he had "lost a half a million men" was correct. "That's quite exact," answered Giap without batting...
...Cassedy and thousands of other American commercial fishermen, the foreign fishing fleets offshore challenge both pride and purse. The strangers are ever more intensively exploiting, both coasts of the U.S., and men like Cassedy are finding it increasingly difficult to live up to the coveted title of "high hooker." The Russians have about 160 vessels along the East Coast alone, and they are not the only uninvited guests. Twenty-five Polish vessels trawl off the East Coast; some 125 Japanese boats operate off Alaska. One result is that since 1954 the U.S. has dropped from second place as a world...
...Jordanians believe them. Undermined by such rumors and his inability to recover the lost lands or cope with Israeli reprisals, Hussein's support among the once fanatically loyal Bedouin tribesmen is diminishing. Many idealistic junior army officers have turned away, and he is having a hard time getting men to serve in his Cabinet.

Miniskirts are forbidden for young girls, and bar girls are being discouraged. Government officials must attend...
Faith and Family Honor. To understand both men and towns a little better, TIME Correspondent Wilton Wynn toured the home villages of the four top colonels. On Crete, he visited Aghia Paraskevi (pop. 154), where Pattakos was born. He stopped at Dirahion (pop. 613) in the Peloponnesus, where loannis Ladas grew up, and Gravia (pop. 690), home of Nikolaos Makarezos. He stopped at Elaiohorion (pop. 280), a village surrounded by low hills, wheatfields, vineyards and olive groves, where Papadopoulos' father was schoolmaster. In each town the foundations were the same: the church, the cafe, and a code of ethics...
