...Saigon and Camranh Bay, and served as flagship for both Admiral William F. ("Bull") Halsey and Admiral Chester W. Nimitz. It bears the same name as the World War I battlewagon that ended up as a target ship for General Billy Mitchell's famed demonstration of air power in 1923. Today's New Jersey faces a potential new threat, in the form of North Vietnam's Russian-made Styx missiles, which sank the Israeli destroyer Elath last October. Just in case the North Vietnamese venture to use the Styx, the New Jersey carries its own secret countermeasures...
...existed long before the Labor Party. They helped create the party, continue to provide it with the bulk of its funds and its hard core of votes - and to some extent feel that they are, in fact, the party. The symbiosis works well enough when Labor is out of power and both party and unions need one another. It works less well once the party leaders don their bowler hats, pick up their dispatch cases and move into Whitehall. Then the unions naturally enough expect their reward. But the responsibilities of ruling Britain seldom enable a socialist government...
Premier George Papadopoulos has yearned for a public endorsement of his military-backed regime ever since the colonels seized power 17 months ago. Last week he won an endorsement -of sorts. In a nationwide referendum, 92% of the 4,600,000 voters who went to the polls approved the regime's carefully tailored new constitution.

By that, the former colonels mean that they want to purify Greek political life, immunizing the fiery-tempered Greeks against the vicious infighting that has marked their parliamentary history. Practically every Greek realizes that Papadopoulos & Co. have set themselves a next to impossible task, so there is no telling how many years the didactic colonels may persist in their mission...
...district, he was unheralded until he turned up at the City College of San Francisco, where in two years he scored a grand total of 54 touchdowns. He went to Southern Cal last year as a junior, and he wasted no time. In an awesome display of speed and power, O.J. led the country in rushing (with 1,415 yds. in 266 carries), scored both touchdowns in the Trojans' 14-3 victory over Indiana in the Rose Bowl. This year he has been offering more of the same. On the way to victories over Minnesota and Northwestern...
