Gabriel the Archangel. Last week 100,000 pilgrims made their way to the shrine of St. Gabriel at Kulubi, in the jagged mountains 200 miles east of Addis Ababa, for a festival that is al most without parallel in the Christian world...
...viewer may well ask the same question, and the answer in both cases would be the same: he was framed by the man who made this movie. The dubious parallel between China 1926 and Viet Nam 1967 is hammered home again and again with ball-peen bluntness: "All these people want is to be left alone"-"How would you like it if the Chinese had a gunboat on the Mississippi?" Yet Director Wise takes care to make his lecture entertaining. He shrewdly decorates his picture with a bloody wonderful battle sequence, some splendid Taiwan shorescapes, a simperingly pretty leading lady...

...later Cosmos shots, 114 and 121, had orbits inclined at 73°, strengthening Perry's belief that rockets were being launched from a new site. But their paths were too nearly parallel to Cosmos 112's to calculate precisely where their initial orbits all intersected over Russia - which would be the location of the launch site. The Russians themselves provided the needed data in October with the flight of Cosmos 129. Though its orbital inclination was 64.57°, it was launched later in the day than typical 65° Cosmos satellites and landed only 6¾ days later...
Whether it is an official's boozy binge or a black-market expose, every scandal in South Viet Nam is aired for all the world to see. North of the 17th parallel, however, Hanoi seldom publishes a bad word about how things are going in the land of Ho. When a shortcoming is publicized it is generally done in the way sins are cited in a revival meeting: to urge the faithful on to ever-greater exertions. Judging from some recent Red sermonizing, Saigon has no monopoly on errant human nature...
