...Afghanistan last week, and some crack units took up stations perilously close to the Iran and Pakistan borders. At the same time, a flotilla of five Soviet warships was spotted steaming through the Sea of Japan, apparently on its way to reinforce the Soviet fleet contingent in the Indian Ocean. No less worrisome were the medical bulletins from Belgrade, reporting on the rapidly deteriorating health of Yugoslav President Josip Broz Tito, 87. Without Tito, who broke with the Kremlin in 1948, Yugoslavia might fall prey to internal conflicts that could inspire another Soviet intervention. This very specter seemed to rise...
...Washington Star relied on entirely different evidence. It produced aerial photos, dated May and November 1969, of the sandbar opening through which ocean tides swept northward into Katama Bay, through the channel between Edgartown and Chappaquiddick and out into the sound. According to the pictures, the opening into Katama Bay was still clear in May but had been blocked by sand by November. The Star indicated that the opening had gradually silted up during the intervening months.

...concrete and steel girders. The effect is both dramatic and exhilarating. The sense of excitement is heightened as visitors walk up to a second level, which curves around the Stage and offers - smog permitting - views of the Rocky Mountains. The feeling is like that on the promenade of an ocean liner, and in warm weather doors will be opened to an outdoor balcony. The architects, who designed the Ford Foundation building in Manhattan and the new wing of Deere & Co. headquarters in Moline, Ill., have always been masters of glass-enclosed interiors. The Bonfils site has shown them equally adept...
