...formal cease-fire or withdrawal arrangements. Perhaps both the North Vietnamese and the U.S. would have little to say in any village arrangements honestly arrived at. Indeed, as agreements were reached, all foreigners might well be asked to leave the areas involved. Thus a system based on this new oil-spot theory might work to gradually lower the level of violence. It would have the liability of confirming Viet Cong control in areas they already own. By the same token, the government would have its rule in clearly held areas validated. And as Samuel P. Huntington, chairman of the department...

Its first-half sales of $840 million were up 15.5%, and earnings were up 14% to $70 million. On top of that it has, with Humble Oil, confirmed an oil find on the North Slope of Alaska that Interior Secretary Stewart Udall calls "apparently the largest in the history of the country...

Watson favors Humphrey, and thus finds himself for once on the same side as his longtime conservative opponents...
...aerial photography. Since the infra-red film is sensitive to heat, geothermal areas are likely to show up lighter in the picture. Another method measures the earth's electrical conductivity, which increases with the presence of subsurface hot water. To tap the subterranean energy, engineers drill with standard oil rigs, going down as little as 600 ft. or as much as 8,000 ft., the depth of the world's deepest steam well at Salton Sea near Brawley, Calif...
