...shuttering offices, shops and factories and halting trains, planes and even rickshas. Angry mobs carrying bamboo staves, the weapon Mujib prescribes, roared "Joi Bangla!" (Victory to Bengal) through Dacca's seamy streets. At least 25 died in Dacca in clashes with soldiers: another 100 were killed at the port city of Chittagong. Mujib denounced the army shooting as an "unforgivable sin" and warned: "There will be civil war if they do not withdraw...

Most cargo ships spend half their time in port, including considerable waiting for dock space. The new ship can stay offshore, outside the port, while tugs deliver barges to it or pick up barges from it. The Lash Italia has a 500-ton capacity crane that hoists the vessel's 63 lighters (each 61 ft. long) over the stern and stows them in the open holds.

Wine makers are particularly heartened because Americans have taken to drinking wine with meals. For the first time since Prohibition, table wines in 1969 outsold sweet wines such as sherry, port and muscatel in the U.S. California produces 75% of the wine consumed in the nation and 85% of the U.S. output. Grapes have become the state's largest cash crop (ahead of tomatoes and cotton), and the price of land in choice viticultural areas has doubled in the past five...
