...Chinese best-seller this summer, with more than a million sales, was "Red Crag," by Lo Kuang-pin and Yang Yi-yen. This 420,000-word blockbuster, set in Chungking in 1949, "describes the bitter struggle between the people and the U.S.-Chiang reactionaries." Its critical scenes occur "behind the bars of the so-called Sino-American Co-operation Organization (SACO), a big concentration camp jointly operated by the U.S. imperialists' secret service and its lackeys, the Chiang gang. They use all the most diabolical means of torture to crush the will of the captured Communists...
...country." He is unlikely to achieve any of these objectives soon. Two of Algeria's six wilayas (military districts) remain in a state of semirebellion. The country is deeply split by regionalism-the ancient rivalries among Berbers and Arabs, of townfolk and tribes. Kidnapings, rapes and murders occur at the rate of five or six a day, and photographs of missing persons appear in every newspaper.

...that matter, actual mid-air collisions occur much oftener than most people realize. Federal agencies have recorded seven so far this year in U.S. airspace, and a total of 438 (most of them involving small planes) during the past quarter century. The collision danger increases steadily as more and more planes take to the air, and as air speeds increase. The faster planes are traveling, the less time pilots have to avoid a threatened collision. Once two high-speed jets on a collision course get within a mile of each other, a crash is inevitable: at 600 m.p.h. they will...
