From Hackensack to Pottstown, Lock Haven to Dover, the power lines went dead for up to nine daylight hours throughout a 15,000-sq.-mi. chunk of the East. More than 13 million people, living in three-quarters of New Jersey, much of eastern Pennsylvania, eastern Maryland and northern Delaware, were caught last week in the nation's second great power failure...
...Nasser, Jordan opened a second front. Mortar and artillery shells rumbled down from the heights of Arab Jerusalem to splatter the Israeli sector of the divided city. Longer-range guns reached across Israel's narrow waist to hit the outskirts of Tel Aviv, and Syrian guns opened up on northern Israeli towns from the hills overlooking the Sea of Galilee. But it was Jerusalem, the Israeli capital, that took the worst damage the Arabs inflicted on the Jews in the whole war.

If the returning products meet certain U.S. tariff-law standards, the manufacturers need pay only a nominal U.S. duty on the value of the Mexican labor involved. "Our idea," says Octaviano Campos Salas, Mexican Minister of Industry and Commerce, "is to offer an alternative to Hong Kong, Japan and Puerto Rico for free enterprise...
