Virulent dissent asserted by politically minded doves in the U.S. Congress will do irreparable harm to the international strength of America, as it struggles for even a morsel of indication from North Viet Nam that an honorable peace is possible. Half a million men on Asian soil are bleeding and dying for a united America. We owe them nothing less than a united America...
After 24 composers-including Igor Stravinsky, Pierre Boulez and Karlheinz Stockhausen-had signed a petition on his behalf, Yun was allowed to resume composing behind bars. The Bonn government, angered by Seoul's cloak-and-dagger tactics on German soil, threatened to suspend its $25 million program of economic aid.

For hundreds of miles, from Vladivostok on north, industry has been built up as well. Across the border, in the Chinese provinces of Heilungkiang and Kirin, industry is also thriving: the great...
...other pictures will be compared to actual conditions on the ground and will help scientists plan an unmanned earth-resources satellite that the Interior Department hopes to launch in 1971 or 1972. With such satellites, officials plan to make a worldwide inventory of natural resources, track ocean currents, measure soil moisture, detect new mineral deposits and derive other benefits that should help pay back the enormous costs of the space program...
