Rebuff Ahead. Despite the importance of the Viet Nam speech, other events converged on the President demanding his attention. His address on Latin America, which proved more pragmatic than inspiring, drew a mixed response south of the border. The General Electric strike posed a threat to the economy (see THE WORLD and BUSINESS). Nixon was stung by the Supreme Court decision insisting on the instant school integration that he had earlier termed "extreme...
...overall balance, the U.S. is still well ahead of the U.S.S.R. in its ability to deliver strategic weapons (see chart). American nuclear-missile submarines and H-bombers vastly outnumber their Soviet counterparts. To be sure, the larger average size of Soviet warheads gives the U.S.S.R. an enormous lead in deliverable megatonnage, but whether that is an advantage is debatable. There has long been dispute over the relative efficacy of big-yield weapons v. larger numbers of smaller warheads. The Soviet fondness for monster missiles worries some American strategists, who feel that the U.S.S.R. could eventually use them to wipe...
...survey covered 1,589 people, 81% of whom said they have been following the case at least "fairly closely."

The sampling immediately after the accident gave Nixon 48%, Kennedy 38% and George Wallace 8%. Now Nixon gets 54%, Kennedy 30%, and Wallace 9%.

The President himself angered many Republican Senators of every political hue. They could rarely get to see...
...arrest. "I don't know." Pilot Cook thought that Minichiello had suicidal tendencies. Stewardess Coleman said Minichiello "wanted someone to come out to the plane so that he could kill them or be killed himself." Perhaps the troubled Marine, whose mother and sister live in Seattle, wanted to see his ailing 80-year-old father, who returned to Italy a year ago. If that was his aim, he chose an irrational way to achieve it. Italian authorities announced that Minichiello will stand trial for kidnaping and hijacking. In New York, U.S. officials filed charges of air piracy, kidnaping...
