...miles eastward; the Egyptians will advance two to nine miles eastward. The buffer zone between them will thus be greatly widened, reducing the chances of an accidental clash. Israel, however, will retain mountains overlooking the eastern part of the two passes, the large Bir Gifgafa airbase just northeast of the Giddi Pass, and the Umm Khisheib electronic monitoring station northwest of the Giddi Pass...
...major cities like Hangchow, Canton and Wuhan, as well as in the industrial province of Heilungkiang in the northeast, political bickering has "greatly disrupted and undermined our revolution and production," as one Chinese radio broadcast put it. On the surface the disputes center on the perennial issue of "material incentives"-that is, higher wages.

Parts of the Midwest are bracing for serious shortfalls. But the shortage will hit hardest in the Northeast, which is already suffering most from the rising cost of imported oil. Many East Coast utilities have stopped accepting neV gas customers and are sending warnings to industrial users to expect drastic curtailments of supplies. Many large gas users are converting to fuel oil at a vastly higher cost...
