Thus Manila had reason for satisfaction last month when government forces killed 21 Huks in two bloody shoot-outs in Luzon. The paramilitary Philippine Constabulary had eliminated four guerrilla commanders, including the third-ranking man in the Huk hierarchy, Efren Lopez, who went by the nom de guerre of Commander Freddie. The action apparently resulted in part from factional division and rivalry among the insurgents. Government forces had trapped Freddie and his men on a tip-off -and that tip-off had evidently come from Commander Sumulong, who ranks directly below Huk Supremo Pedro Taruc. Sumulong had apparently felt challenged...
...surprise, the manager told her that she was expected to sing too. She did, and clicked immediately. It was then that she changed her name to Nina Simone because her mother disapproved of singing in public. CAMERA 5 "The blues and jazz come from my people for one reason," she says. "We are the ones who had the misery of being slaves in this country. We're the ones who had to be invisible. We're the ones who had to devise different means of staying alive. We did it."

...today's jetliners, if a pilot allows his speed to reach 85% of the speed of sound, a bell rings and a light flash es to caution him to go no faster. There is good reason for the warning. Beyond that limit, the big ships generate turbulence that causes a drastic loss in efficiency and sometimes dangerous buf feting. Thus, although the sonic barrier is around 660 m.p.h. at the normal jet cruising altitude of 35,000 ft., commercial jets are held down to a speed of about 560 m.p.h...
...freeze on further boosts until March 1. By then, he warns, the city's landlords had better produce a formula for self-regulation against gouging or they will face legislated controls. The owners are expected to come through with some sort of plan-and for good reason. With an election due in the autumn, Democrats on the city council are threatening the landlords with a number of politically popular bills, including one that would impose rent controls on all buildings, and another that would force rents back to the 1967 level...
