...refugees from Red Guard terror who trickled out of China last week must have done a double take as they reached Hong Kong. There, queued up in Kowloon Station beside the mid-morning train to Canton were hundreds of Chinese waiting to go home. There were teen-age girls in distinctly non-proletarian blouses, old men in bourgeois pin-striped suits, and women whose arms were draped with heavy jackets in anticipation of the chilly Chinese autumn. The refugees-in-reverse were overseas Chinese from Indonesia, some 4,000 of whom have fled back to the mainland in recent months...
Tiny Telemcmn. Operating in their cheerfully freewheeling fashion from offices in a drab mid-Manhattan brownstone, the two managers have gone from a line-up of eleven events in their first year to 72 in the coming season-among them a "Tiny Telemann Festival," honoring the baroque composer, and four programs of Viennese music, to be played by Viennese pianists. Now their expanding interests are rapidly encompassing the dance, drama, films and children's programs.

Fannie Mae's aid to housing may thus be only half a remedy...
...took just three seconds last June for the U.S. to lose two ace test pilots and more than $700 million worth of aircraft when the Air Force's XB-70 Valkyrie, a supersonic flying laboratory, collided in mid-air with an F-104 Starfighter over the Mojave Desert. The crash occurred during a flight arranged for General Electric, maker of the Valkyrie's YJ-93 engines. G.E. got Air Force officers to approve a photo-shooting session in which the XB-70 flew in close formation with four other planes, all G.E.-powered...
