...Sadat and his guests moved by launch to the October Six, a gaggle of tugs, pilot boats and harbor runabouts sounded horns and whistled furiously. Egyptian MIG fighters and a pride of helicopters circled overhead. The amplified recorded voice of the late beloved Egyptian singer Umm Kulthum (TIME, Feb. 17) mixed with the martial music...
...rich readers. TIME'S $18 annual subscription price, for instance, which even now reflects galloping paper, production and labor costs, could double and possibly triple. Reason: as prices rise, some subscribers would drop off, and prices would then have to rise again to cover editorial costs and other overhead expenses. Newsweek would perhaps have to make a similar leap, as would such other weeklies as Saturday Review, The New Yorker, New York magazine and SPORTS ILLUSTRATED. Even monthlies, such as Harper's and Reader's Digest, would have to hit their subscribers with drastic price increases. Religious...
...hour-long NSC meeting that morning, Ford ordered F-4 Phantoms, A-7 Corsair light-attack planes and F-111 fighter-bombers from Utapao to try to keep any Cambodian boats from moving between Koh Tang and the mainland. When the gunboats moved, the U.S. planes circling overhead fired 20-mm. machine-gun bullets into the water off their bows.

One bullet struck a reconnaissance plane's vertical stabilizer, but the craft made it safely back to Utapao...
...most interesting thing Exley's parenthetical comments reveal is that he knew from the outset that Pages wasn't working.

But the people he meets are tedious, and by this time his reflections have become predictable. If anything, Exley seems too detached, to the point of being callous...
Basking in the euphoria of the country's first free election in half a century, tens of thousands of Portuguese workers took advantage of the brilliant spring sunshine to celebrate May Day in Lisbon's huge outdoor May 1st Stadium. Loudspeakers blared, military helicopters chuffed overhead dropping red carnations, and election posters were plastered on every available inch of wall space. To a casual observer, it might have seemed as if the election had not yet taken place. Not so. It was just that after 49 years of repression-and months of intense politicking-no one could resist...
