...liberalization did not achieve any of the objectives that Khrushchev had in mind. The carefully fostered image of a new, "reasonable" Russia weakened but did not fragment the Western alliance, nor did it win the Soviets any significant amount of new ground in the soft spots of Southeast Asia and the Middle East. It did not even persuade the cagey Tito to sign up again for full membership in "the camp of socialism...
...Yukon River, and from the Porcupine, the Koyukuk and the Selawick. Out to Woodchopper, to Steel Creek, Poorman and a hundred other placer gold camps, packed the glint-eyed prospectors in search of a glint in the sand and gravel. In the villages of the Panhandle in the southeast, the red salmonberry blossoms fluttered, and the Indians spun out to gather wild celery and Indian rhubarb, came home for feasts of delicate herring eggs (cooked in seal oil, garnished with soy sauce).

Tucked in the jungle fastnesses of Southeast Asia, Laos has no telephone communication with the outside world; telegraph messages tend to run as late as 48 hours; the U.S. aid mission in the capital city of Vientiane (pop. 25,000) has a radiotelephone link with the U.S. aid mission in Bangkok, Thailand, but during the monsoon season, as now, messages are static-ridden and fragmentary...
...inadequate force of troop-carrier aircraft to be able to fight anywhere in any strength. Within a limited war's crucial first 36 hours, the Air Force could lift no more than one battle-ready division to the Middle East, no more than a regiment to Southeast Asia. It would take the Air Force and the Navy together several weeks to move the whole Strategic Army Corps overseas. This was why STRAC's senior officer, Paratroop Major General Robert F. Sink, 53, last week wound up the Army's proud announcements with a tough plea...
