...French, THANK YOU FOR YOUR VISIT. The latest and biggest package tour to arrive at Kabul Airport looks set for a long visit. The Soviet army has pitched a tent city there. Its equipment includes hundreds of helicopters, scores of giant Antonov and Ilyushin transport aircraft, spotter planes, radar trucks, tanks, artillery, antiaircraft batteries, radio rigs, armored personnel carriers, lines of trucks, gasoline tankers, innumerable smaller vehicles. Huge transports, some in Aeroflot's blue and white paint, others in military silver, come and go. The view from the departure lounge and the airport tearoom is like Red Square...
...SEVEN years old the first time I saw You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown. A friend of mine and his parents took me down to the St. Mark's Place Theater in New York, where Gary Burghoff (later to gain fame as Radar of M*A*S*H) played the title role.

The letters and numbers identifying a blip on the radar screen as the Soviet plane suddenly disappeared. An unidentified voice then ordered the Soviet pilot to descend from 8,000 ft. to 4,000 ft., into airspace that is normally reserved for small planes. For three minutes-and six miles-the jetliner flew at low altitude over heavily populated Long Island, until a tower supervisor discovered what...
...long been denied to Moscow, meaning that tariffs on Peking's goods will be reduced to the lowest rates levied on imports from other U.S. trading partners. The Defense Department announced that the U.S. is now willing to sell China military equipment, including trucks, communications gear and early-warning radar, but no weapons. The Air Force flew several B-52s from Guam over Soviet ships in the Indian Ocean to demonstrate U.S. ability to project military power in the area. Said a Pentagon official: "If that message was lost on them, their hearing aids were turned...
