...Rules. But what to do? The Navy reacted in classic style by ordering the 85,000-ton nuclear-powered carrier Enterprise to show the flag in the Sea of Japan. En route at the time to Yankee Station in the Gulf of Tonkin after a stop in southern Japan, the carrier headed north instead, accompanied by the nuclear frigate Truxtun and several other escort vessels. Six or seven other warships put out of Yokosuka later in the week, presumably bound for the same area. Shadowing Enterprise, sometimes at the dangerously close range of 800 yards, was the Soviet trawler Gidrolog...
...counterforce to Russia's 60-vessel ELINT armada, made up mostly of converted trawlers and hydrographic craft, all bristling with antennas and sensitive snooping gear. Just as the Pueblo and her kin prowl the international waters off China, North Korea and the Soviet Union, Russian trawlers are stationed off California, South Carolina, Florida's Cape Kennedy, Guam and Alaska. A Soviet spy ship dogs every move of U.S. aircraft carriers on "Yankee Station," the 45,000-sq.-mi. area of the Tonkin Gulf from which American air strikes over North Viet Nam originate, flashing alerts to Hanoi.

It will also be the nation's largest private landlord, with real estate holdings that include Park Avenue hotels and a Pittsburgh office building-apartment complex, a 25% share in the new Madison Square Garden, erected over the rebuilt Pennsylvania Station in New York City, resorts in Florida, parks in Texas and housing developments in California. The diversified corporation will have total assets of $6.3 billion, annual revenues of almost $2 billion, and tidy tax-loss credits from dismal years in the past that will help to improve net income for years...
...police cars. Stony Brook Associate Dean Donald M. Bybee called it "a press field day," and a local chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union quickly protested the pretrial publicity. Students complained of "Gestapo tactics," pro tested that the ill-timed raid coincided with final exams. The campus radio station called the state's antimarijuana laws unjust and obsolete, while students circulated a petition saying "I, too, have smoked marijuana." A faculty resolution deplored the police's tactics, charging that the methods employed were more suitable to "quelling a rebellion" than to arresting peaceful students...
