...tung's Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution has produced the greatest proletarian traffic jam in history. From Tibet to Tsingtao, the roads, rails and airlines of Red China are jammed with Chinese on the move. Most are Red Guards heading to and from Peking to spread the word of the leader's glory. Their road map-passed out on trains, sung on airliners-is a cheap (about 25?), red, plastic-bound copy of Mao's Thought. So massive is the movement that the government has begun to drop a hint to the faithful: get out and walk...
...army on the Long March and hit upon an idea: Let's travel to Peking by foot." On Aug. 25, they set out, "holding high the Red-covered quotations of Chairman Mao, and with revolutionary vigor vowed: 'To make revolution, we must take the most arduous road!' " During the first ten days, the rain poured down and their ankles grew swollen. In order to forget the pain, they chanted: "A thousand mountains, 10,000 rivers are nothing," an old Long Marching song.

Because of cheaper insurance, lighter crating, fewer warehouse charges and, most important, jet-quick delivery, air freight is often less costly than water, rail or road transport-even though air rates are considerably higher. Using air shipment for most of its electronics products, increasingly diversified Raytheon has cut delivery time from ten to twelve days to 48 to 72 hours-and therefore is selling off its field warehouses in the bargain. Sears now supplies its Honolulu...
...thing to sight a UFO; it is another to get inside one. And that, say the Hills, is just what happened to them. A few minutes after the sighting, Barney Hill turned the car down a side road, impelled by some extrasensory command. There, half a dozen humanoid creatures with wall eyes, metallic skin, rudimentary mouths and a grasp of English led them aboard a spacecraft and inspected the captives separately. Barney's removable dentures mystified his examiners; so did the dissimilarity between his skin and his wife's-he is a Negro; she.is white...
