Teak & Mahogany. Those U.S. analysts who believe that Khe Sanh will be attacked are convinced that Giap envisages it as a second Dienbienphu. He is out after a victory that would completely smash the will of the U.S. to continue a hard and dirty war of rising casualties and fitful overall progress in bringing South Viet Nam to where it can defend itself. Around Khe Sanh he has ringed 40,000 troops. Northward is grouped his 325C Division, to the south lies the 304. To the east lies the 324B and another division, and to the southeast there are elements...
...unshaven, slit-eyed refugee from television's Rawhide-was glad to get an invitation from Italian Director Sergio Leone to star in a hokey little quickie to be shot in Spain. It was called A Fistful of Dollars, and the title proved prophetic: the picture was a smash. Leone and Eastwood collaborated again on For a Few Dollars More. Now they are back with The Good, the Bad and the Ugly-a title that might serve as the film's own capsule review...
...will not be fully free until we smash the state completely and totally," cried William Epton in a street-corner harangue on the first night of the 1964 Harlem riots. Later that evening he added: "In that process, we're going to have to kill a lot of these cops, a lot of these judges, and we'll have to go up against their army."

Dak., stars this month with 32 works at the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa (see color opposite). Gifted with pop art's most facile brush, Rosenquist was a smash with his first Manhattan show in 1962. His huge, bold panoramas combine the photo-simulated faces, glossily glamorized foods and chrome-plated gadgetry of Madison Avenue in weird compositions where objects seem to float off the canvas. In their own way, they are also a wry celebration...
...Propulsion Laboratory gave themselves only a 40% chance of a successful landing. If one of Surveyor 7's three feet landed on a high rock, the craft would tip over, rendering its cameras and testing equipment useless. Or the feet might straddle a rock, which would then smash into the spacecraft's delicate underbelly. In an almost shoot-the-works mood, therefore, Surveyor 7's controllers fired the retrorockets at the end of the 66-hour, 225,000-mile journey last week. The craft obediently braked from 6,000 m.p.h. to less than 7 m.p.h., fell freely...
