...Yellow and Yangtze rivers. Some 600,000 more troops are stacked up like nice neat boxes along the eastern coast from Kiangsu to Kwangtung province, with a 200,000-man bulge directly across from Formosa. Surprisingly enough, there are no more than 200,000 soldiers along the entire southern rim of China, including the borders with Viet Nam and Laos. Of the 50,000 Chinese troops in North Viet Nam, the bulk are cadre and support troops; no major combat units are stationed outside Chi na proper...
Snapped from 133 miles away, the orbiter's first pictures showed the crater-pocked flatlands and adjacent ridges of the Mare Smythii region on the right-hand rim near the lunar equator. Later, the spacecraft snapped a 930-mi.-high shot of the moon's mysterious back side. Even so, the strong picture signals from the high-resolution lens were extremely fuzzy, primarily because of difficulties in the spacecraft's camera system...
...country's northeast and in the Moslem provinces of the south. But thanks to a civic-action program that is nipping Red subversion in its earlier stages, the north is relatively free of trouble. "Nation building is what we're doing," says one official in Mae Rim, 107 miles from the Laos border. "We're extending government influence to all within Thai borders...
...hardly the Mayflower; yet in front of Phillip's molting, motley crew stretched a continent as vast and varied as the United States, its interior a "ghastly blank" of alkaline deserts, its outer rim a sun-bleached jawbone of barrier reefs and ragged mountains. Last week, as computers in Sydney and Canberra digested the raw data of Australia's 13th census in 178 years, it was clear that the ghastly blank was far from filled-and that for many a ruggedly individualistic cobber the ghastliest blank of all is a government census form...
...iron, crawled less than 100 yds. through the rough. He had to hit a No. 9 iron just to get the ball back on the fairway. A stray No. 3 wood left Arnie trapped just off the green; he had to explode to within 4 ft. of the rim and sink the putt to salvage a six-"the greatest six I ever made." Another birdie by Casper cut Palmer's lead to one stroke, and that stroke vanished when Arnie missed a 10-ft. putt on the 17th hole. Both golfers parred the 18th, and for the 24th time...
