...Odd Alliance. As the House began debate on civil rights, the Senate finished debate on foreign aid-all but eviscerating the Administration's program. Assisted by Chairman William Fulbright, who turned against his Foreign Relations Committee's own bill, an assortment of doves, hawks, fiscal conservatives, unreconstructed Lyndon haters and those who simply doubt that aid is what it used to be formed a strange alliance to gut the perennially unpopular economic aid appropriation...
...Odd Enforcement. Mayor Locher decried the Hough upheaval as "shameful and irresponsible," then vacillated until late in the second day before he requested 1,500 National Guardsmen to patrol the district. By the time they arrived, about midnight, the mobs had spectacularly refuted Chief Wagner's ebullient assurance: "This situation will not get out of hand because I've got my men there to see that...
...night, the 200-odd planes of the 460th-the largest wing in the Air Force-criss-cross the skies of Viet Nam, snaking up infiltration trails, dodging mountains, flying through thunderstorms and flak, alone, unarmed, and always looking for Charlie. It is the toughest flying in the world, as its pilots-all veterans of proven skill-know all too well. In the past two years the "Recce" wing has lost 27 crews, including the six men aboard an RB-66 that was shot down last week northeast of Hanoi. But, says Captain Gale Hearn, 34, a onetime flying instructor...
...should he-when being so nasty makes him so popular? His morning hot-line radio show ranks No. 1 in its time slot among the 90-odd stations in the Los Angeles area. His local weekly TV interview show is doing just as well. Another TV program, taped for syndication, is carried weekly in three cities across the country and 21 more will be added in September. His syndicated radio interviews play daily in 254 cities, with an average ten new stations signing up each week. In addition, Pyne is host of NBC's daily Showdown, a typically mindless...
Flight without wings-which are useless "in space and would be burned and torn away by the temperatures and stresses of re-entry-is made possible by the M2-F2's odd aerodynamic shape, which provides substantial lift in a fast-flowing airstream. Two sturdy rudders enable the craft to turn, and small flaps can be used to pitch its nose up or down. With such controls, a lifting body returning to the atmosphere from orbit at 18,000 m.p.h. might start on a trajectory designed to terminate near Kansas City, and still have the capability of flying...
