...support of Russell Long over Ted Kennedy for the post of Democratic whip amazed and angered many of his followers. But at least that move could be explained in personal and political terms: McCarthy holds no love for the Kennedys, and he was indebted to Long for past favors. Last week McCarthy wandered even further afield, puzzling friends and foes alike...
...produces the tensest moments for pilot and crew. Then more than VOR-DME is needed. The Air Force relies on a system called PAR (for precision-approach radar). Because it places decision making in the hands of the ground controller, it is not popular with airline captains. In the past 14 months, PAR systems have been abandoned by 14 major civilian airports...
...past month, two Allegheny Airline Convair 580 turboprops crashed at the Bradford Regional Airport in northern Pennsylvania. Both were approaching the field in similar snowstorms, using the VOR-DME instrument technique. At FAA urging, Allegheny has just raised the level of minimal weather conditions for VOR-DME approaches to a ceiling of 1,000 ft. and visibility of three miles. As in the other approach cases, the board has not yet established a direct connection between the crash and the instrument system either aboard the plane or on the ground. However, at week's end, the Air Line Pilots...
...Israelis insist that declarations of Arab nonbelligerency have not protected them in the past.

By simply sitting tight since the Six-Day War, the Israelis argue, they have induced the Arabs to hold indirect talks through...
...embargo is unlikely to have much practical impact on Israel, despite that country's heavy investment in French arms, amounting to nearly $600 million over the past decade. Ever since De Gaulle stopped delivery of 50 Mirage fighters as a sign of his displeasure during the Six-Day War, Israel has been prudently making other arrangements. To compensate for the embargoed aircraft Israel has ordered from the U.S. 50 F-4 Phantoms, scheduled for delivery late this year...
