Subs, Please. Was this progress? Skeptics noted that France's government seemed more inclined to talk cooperation than to practice it. After indicating that they might honor a 15-month-old agreement to accept U.S.-controlled warheads for its German-based F-100 fighter-bombers, the French brusquely denied that they had any present plans "concerning the use of these planes within NATO." Nothing daunted, U.S. officials in Paris leaked wishful reports that France's nuclear force de frappe is badly behind schedule and beset with ever-mounting technical and financial problems. De Gaulle, it was hinted...
...that the showers worked, sheets were on the beds, and the roast beef in the dining room was not bad at all. But without its two major attractions, Walker Hill, in all its Motel Modrun splendor, was still half empty. Because of the junta's slogan, "Austerity for Progress," South Koreans were not allowed inside unless they came as guests of foreigners. This policy might have to be changed. As one observer put it: "If the government wants to make a go of this place, they'll have to let the South Koreans in-and probably the North...
...BETWEEN STATES AND THE WORLD COMMUNITY: The 20th century's extraordinary progress in science and technology has made one family of the world: national economies are interdependent, and the peace and security of one country necessarily depend upon the peace and security of all countries.

Once they have a clue to the cause of a disease, medical researchers often make steady progress in the search for a cure. But not in the case of lung cancer. Doctors have long been convinced that cigarette smoking is a major cause, Dr. Isidor S. Ravdin reminded a California seminar for science writers, but in the past decade the number of fatal cases of lung cancer has increased alarmingly. Death rates have shot up 73% in men and 18% in women. The death rates from other kinds of cancer have also increased-cancer of the kidney, 19% in males...
Leukemia's estimated rise to more than 15,000 new cases this year is also discouraging. But on the basis of overall progress, said Dr. Ravdin, "we are making challenging gains. Last year alone we saved some 44,000 cancer patients who would have died had they developed the disease ten years ago. We have the means at hand to save virtually all of the women who develop uterine cancer, and given ideal conditions, salvage those who develop cancer of the colon and rectum...
