...evenhanded report on the air campaign against North Viet Nam, Defense Secretary Robert McNamara last week provided the Senate's Preparedness Subcommittee with a wealth of information that has never before been made public-and some sober conclusions unlikely to encourage either the hawks who would drastically escalate the bombing of the North, or the doves who would end the bombing entirely. Among the highlights...
Ironically, the Syrians themselves hastened the Israeli victory. In an effort to pressure the United Nations into enforcing a ceasefire, Damascus Radio undercut its own army by broadcasting the fall of the city of El Quneitra three hours before it actually capitulated.

Presented at the meeting was the Vatican-approved report of the joint working group, which revealed that Rome will send a new category of 15 "delegated observers" to next summer's massive World Council assembly in Uppsala, Sweden. For the first time, Roman Catholics will be entitled to address the assembly and, according to the World Council's general secretary, Dr. Eugene Carson Blake, who would not elaborate, the new category "could also affect the makeup of the new central committee...
