...signal came not a moment too soon. Only the day before, Israeli jets near the Suez Canal shot down four Egyptian air force MIG-21s, killing one of the pilots. Though all parties prudently refused to admit it, TIME learned that some Soviet flyers were involved in the incident, the first in which Soviet-piloted MIGs have been shot down-an event fraught with awesome consequences and feared by the U.S. and Israel since the Red air force began to fly missions in Egypt nearly four months...
Precisely what happened to the AN-22, which carried about 25 crewmen and passengers, may never be known. U.S. rescue craft took the lead in searching the icy waters near the plane's last recorded radio signal. They located a life raft and some debris but later concluded that neither came from the missing plane. The Soviets, obviously distressed at the loss of an expensive piece of strategic equipment, rushed eight Tu-95 reconnaissance bombers into the area to join the search. The AN-22, which made its debut in experimental form in 1965, was developed to haul heavy...
...work tells its story. Echoi is Greek for "echoes," and, as Foss explains in his notes to the recorded version of the work, is also a name for some ancient Arabian modes. The piece is in four parts, somewhat loosely-structured, and is partly aleatory-at a random signal from the percussionist, the performers jump back to an earlier section of the work and replay it, in order to destroy whatever structure may have been created. I can have no quarrel with the performance-it seemed all right to me, but the work itself seems open to question. Aleatory music...
...began by announcing the Bruce appointment, then accepted questions. Had he got any signal from Hanoi that the Communists were more willing to talk? No direct signals, but third-party indications were that they wanted to see a top U.S. negotiator named. Will Bruce have anything new to offer? Well, let's review what we have already offered. Would Nixon categorically assert that he would never send U.S. troops back into Cambodia? The U.S. has no plans to send the troops back in, but he would not say that he would never do so under any circumstances...
Authorities often practice a political double standard. A Long Island housewife last year found herself in court for protesting the war by flying her flag upside down (the international signal of distress). No action was taken when an American Legion post near by flew its flag upside down to protest Government inaction over the Pueblo's capture. Last month Michael Sauter, 20, was arrested in Topeka for displaying on his car a flag decal with an overlaid peace symbol. The charges were dropped after his lawyer argued that 1) a decal is not a flag, and 2) Topeka police cars...
