Obviously, as long as the U.S. has its troops stationed in South Korea, the Pentagon regards the intelligence gathered by the EC-121s as worth the considerable risk. The same is true of the information collected by AGERS in other parts of the world. The provocations against them have been going on for a long time. General Earle Wheeler, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, recently disclosed that since 1949 U.S. reconnaissance ships and planes have been the targets of 41 attacks by the North Koreans...

Despite its unhappy confrontation in Los Angeles, the greatest influence on the President was the Committee on Nutrition and Human Needs, whose fulltime chairman is South Dakota Democrat George McGovern. The committee's findings had made hunger so compelling a political issue that Nixon ultimately felt it necessary to ignore the economizers and submit his eleventh-hour program...
Tracks Out. BART will serve the 2,500,000 people who live in the three-county area, extending its tracks out from San Francisco roughly 20 miles north to Richmond, 30 miles east to Concord and 40 miles south to Fremont.

Lee is the eleventh black mayor in the South, but the first to be elected in a predominantly white Southern community. Said former Vice President...
Unhappily, those goals conflicted. To help minority group students, C.C.N.Y. admitted and gave special tutoring to less-qualified freshmen, but the numbers remained low. In April, 200 black and Puerto Rican students locked themselves inside the gates of the college's south campus. They wanted admissions policy to reflect the racial composition of the city's high schools, which are 45% nonwhite, compared with 12% at C.C.N.Y. They demanded control of faculty hiring and firing in the tutoring program, and a separate degree-granting school of black and Puerto-Rican studies. Backed by the politically appointed board...
