Regina's "Telebus" system, begun as an experiment six months ago, has proven to be a remarkable success. It is not only convenient for the 18,000 residents in the 3-sq.-mi. district now served by Telebuses but also financially beneficial for the city transit system, which needs more passengers to cut its deficit. During a particularly bitter cold snap early in January, the city's eleven 42-passenger Telebuses responded to an average of 2,000 calls per day. Cost of the service: 35?, only a dime more than the standard fare...
...stage, she takes possession of it, just as she did during her last public performances in 1965 (Tosca at the Met and Covent Garden). With each student, she proceeds as she did last week with Korean Soprano Kyu Do Park. She let her sing all of Mi chiamano Mimi (They call me Mimi) from La Boheme, then went to work, singing phrases back to show how to put meaning into them. When Callas came to the word "Mimi," her rich, smoky voice swelled with emotion. "Have no doubt about who you are," she explained...
...tiny (209 sq. mi.) Pacific island of Guam, two fishermen last week pounced on a ragged, furtive little man whom they had spotted tending a fish trap in the Talofofo River, and turned him over to the police for questioning. To his incredulous interrogators, the man announced that he was Shoichi Yokoi, 56, a sergeant in the 38th Infantry Regiment of the old Japanese Imperial Army. He had been hiding out in the jungles of Guam since U.S. forces recaptured the island during a month-long siege in the summer of 1944. From a leaflet that he found...
...Polaris fleet at 41. The Russians are developing a new 3,000-mile undersea missile that would require the construction of an even larger sub. In response to the Soviet buildup, President Nixon last week requested funds from Congress for the start of development of a 5,000-mi. undersea missile called ULMS (for Undersea Long-Range Missile System). Russia's desire to strengthen its position in underwater missile-delivery systems is a major reason for the lack of progress at the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks. Meanwhile, the Soviets are engaged in a buildup of hunter-killer submarines, which...
...second reason is that in 1963, shortly after India's brief but bloody war with China, Pakistan worked out a provisional border agreement with Peking ceding some 1,300 sq. mi. of Kashmir to China. Peking has since linked up the old "silk route" highway from Sinkiang province to the city of Gilgit in Pakistani Kashmir with an all-weather macadam motor highway running down to the northern region of Ladakh near the cease-fire line. Should Indian troops get anywhere near China's highway or try to grasp its portion of Kashmir, New Delhi could expect to have...
