...Soviet Union refused to accept shipments of citrus fruits and other goods from cholera-stricken Iran. Both countries now refer only to outbreaks of misleadingly labeled "summer diarrhea." Egyptian authorities have been equally ostrichlike. Fearful of disrupting their country's ailing tourist industry, they have refused to restrict travel and euphemistically describe as "summer disease" what one World Health Organization official estimates to be 3,000 current cases of cholera...
...people to subsist on diets less nutritious than those consumed in 1939. Marshall Plan administrators would only extend urgent aid to those governments (France in 1948, for example) which agreed, first of all, to subject their population to an austere wages and tax policy. Secondly, these countries were to restrict commercial credit in such a way as to prevent speculation in the value of national currencies and in inventory accumulation (i.e.by corporations holding finished products in anticipation of inflationary price hikes). Such speculation would have tended to subvert national economies and make them less attractive as arenas for U.S. investment...
...demonstrations. It is not surprising. The First Amendment firmly guarantees every person the right to speak freely, assemble peaceably and petition the Government for redress of grievances.

According to Bar-Lev -and Washington intelligence sources agree-both batteries are close enough to protect some of the more exposed SA-2s and restrict Israeli jets. The SA-3s are manned only by Russian crews. But even though Egyptians crew the SA-2s, Bar-Lev claimed that "in every battery we have a few Russian officers who maybe do not push the button, but who make sure the button is not pushed before or after...
...auto races, the competing cars have about as much in common with the family flivver as an Apollo spacecraft has with a Piper Cub. Not in the Trans-American Championship for sports sedans. Commonly known as the Trans-Am, the competition is limited to genuine stock cars; the rules restrict engine size to 305 cu. in. and require that at least 2,500 identical models be in general distribution. The result is what Tracy Bird, executive director of the sponsoring Sports Car Club of America, calls "product identity," a sense of involvement that has drawn more than 650,000 enthusiasts...
