...SYLVIA: EARLY MORNING RAIN (Vanguard). British Columbia-born Ian and Ontario-born Sylvia weave a spritely texture of vocal contrast and concert as they sing country and Western music with a Northwest twang. Less bent on social comment than on soothing harmony, they sing gaily of whisky, women and want, waxing serious only when they try to patch up the French-English rift back home in Song for Canada ("How come we can't talk to each other any more...
...Force F-105 fighter-bombers for the first time struck north of the "Hanoi line." In five separate raids, they hit a major military base and ammunition depot at Sonla, 125 miles northwest of Hanoi and only 80 miles from the Red China border. Result: more than 70 buildings destroyed, nearly 50 others damaged. Other targets were Ban Nuoc Chieu, 80 miles northwest of Hanoi, and Nasan, 115 miles northwest of the capital, where 18 attacking planes blasted airfield runways, destroyed two buildings and fired a big aircraft fuel storage tank. At the same time, U.S. aircraft continued their daily...
...bomb-line boomed ever closer to Hanoi. U.S. planes struck within 45 miles of the North Vietnamese capital, as if to challenge the half-dozen Soviet Ilyushin-28 jet bombers discovered by high-flying U.S reconnaissance planes late last month and at present sitting idly at Phucyen, just northwest of Hanoi. U.S. officials assume that the planes are Russian-piloted and represent Moscow's fulfillment-along with three antiaircraft missile sites under construction near the capital-of Premier Aleksei Kosygin's February pledge to give material aid to Ho Chi Minh. The Ilyushins are slow (580 m.p.h...
Pole Winner Foyt narrowly escaped injury when the rear suspension of his Lotus-Ford broke and the left rear wheel snapped off. Veteran Parnelli Jones, who won the 500 in 1963, was badly shaken up in a similar accident: he was drifting through the northwest turn at 150 m.p.h. when the suspension of his Lotus collapsed. "All of a sudden the back end started steering the front," Parnelli shuddered later. The car slammed into the wall, slid 570 ft., spun, slid again, and finally came to rest 110 ft. onto the infield grass...
...Much news coverage is automatically excluded. Television and radio news and news magazines are awarded prizes of their own, but they do not qualify for a Pulitzer; neither does the reporting, some of it incomparable, of the small-circulation magazines. Undoubtedly it takes skill to cover floods in the Northwest, but they seem out of the mainstream of American journalism. So do the Pulitzers...
