Blackout. Last week Kaunda's pleas for British troops carried a new urgency. A narrowly averted incident on the border with Rhodesia led him to pull his own small army back to Lusaka to avoid an accidental clash. In the rail center of Livingstone, the town's first race disturbance-a minor scuffle in which nobody was seriously hurt-caused 300 white railwaymen to strike for government protection, and the walkout crippled the nation's copper shipments. Three hundred miles to the north came the most serious incident of all: saboteurs blew up the main power line...
Conditions for Savagery. With delaying tactics in the Diet and demonstrations in the streets, the leftists hoped to paralyze the government and pull down Sato just as they had his brother, ex-Premier Nobusuke Kishi, after the 1960 Japan-U.S. Security Treaty was signed. No such luck, for this time the Japanese public simply was not responding to the leftists' highly indignant cries. For one thing, it was all too obvious that the treaty with Korea, which restores relations between the Asian neighbors for the first time since World War II, has no military clauses. Moreover, the conditions...
...projecting arms-the right knob for attitude, the left for direction of motion. Should he want to turn to the left, for example, he will turn the right knob to the left, automatically firing two thrusters that rotate AMU counterclockwise around its own axis. To move backwards, he will pull back on the left control knob and activate forward-firing thrusters. If an astronaut has to use both hands for other jobs, he will move into the proper atti tude, then throw a stabilizer switch and use his AMU's gyro-controlled stabilizer system to "park" in space...
...Sawyer, they clamped off the diseased section at either end, then injected carbon dioxide between the outer and inner layers of the artery. With the two layers thus separated, it was relatively easy to make a small incision and snip off the ends of the diseased inner layers, then pull them out. After the incisions were sutured and the clamps removed, the blood immediately began flowing through the undiseased outer layer. The operation has been tried on various arteries in 14 other patients. Thus far, there have been no complications...
...Britain, it has been too burdened by fiscal instability and the Rhodesia crisis, to become involved in the Vietnam war. Prime Minister Wilson tried once to be helpful by sending the Davies mission to Hanoi. But England wants to pull its troops out of Malaysia, and no doubt a good many Labour backbenchers would like to lash out more loudly against the war. But until Britain can become less dependent on U.S. help to steady the pound, their protest will be unheeded...
