...talk with Benediktov, Nehru kept asking: "Why are they attacking us? Why now?" To some observers, the answer goes far beyond the 52,000 sq. mi. of border territory claimed by China.

Runner-up to Hill in the duel for the Grand Prix driving championship, Clark needs a victory in next month's South African Grand Prix...
...concession area immediately and give up another 15% within seven years. But the more the I.P.C. offered, the more Kassem asked. Last October, crying ''we shall rid ourselves of wickedness," Kassem finally broke off the talks, revoked all I.P.C. concessions save those covering 740 sq. mi. in which the company was currently producing oil.
