...incredible that the matter could have been kept quiet for so long. Some men of Charlie Company contend that Captain Medina assembled them, told them not to complain about the affair to anyone back home, and promised to back them up if there was an investigation. As a result of Pilot Thompson's complaint, the commander of the 11th Brigade, Colonel Oran K. Henderson, quizzed Captain Medina and some of the troops. He asked a group of the men whether they had seen any soldiers shooting civilians. The repeated response was no. He concluded that some 20 bodies he found...
...afraid of people who defend Marxist doctrine when many Marxist books are freely sold in the U.S." But he feels he has made some capital out of his rejection. "If I had gone to the U.S.," he says, "I would have addressed audiences of about 100 people."

His wretched successors only dare to embezzle a part of my money. It only reaffirms...
...prize of the lot. The Israelis have captured, virtually intact, a sweptwing, Soviet-made Sukhoi-7, the basic Soviet tactical attack aircraft. It is the first Sukhoi to fall into Western hands-and its capture is a coup of considerable significance. The Israelis acquired the Sukhoi as the result of sheer luck. Its Egyptian pilot bailed out after the plane was hit over the Giddi Pass in Sinai. The Sukhoi then made an unbelievably smooth belly landing in the soft, flat sand.
