...whose intimate revelations of the Kennedy years had already caused their own furor. So many people were getting into the dispute, in fact, that Lyndon Johnson, who is unfairly treated in the book, seemed the very model of decorum; he kept quiet himself and ordered his staff to stay totally out of the controversy...
...radar heading toward the cruiser U.S.S. Long Beach in the Gulf of Tonkin. Two Phantom F-4Bs streaked off the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Kitty Hawk and downed them with air-to-air missiles. Though the skies were otherwise clear of enemy planes, U.S. pilots wondered how long they would stay that way. In the past two months North Viet Nam has built its air force from 70 to 110 MIGs.

Steady Erosion. Not many priests leave the church as dramatically as did Father Davis, but Catholicism unquestionably is suffering a small but steady erosion of its clerical ranks.

In a denouement without precedent in the Communist world, he and his executive council resigned-on the grounds that they had lost a no-confidence vote. The Parliament hastily convened to ask Smole & Co. to stay on as a caretaker government until a new one could be elected-when and how, no one quite knew. Smole himself set to work lobbying like any Western politician for enough support to get the bill passed on a second try. The shudder from such a convulsive exercise of Yugoslavia...
