Had the point of all-out war been reached? Not quite. Despite all the shooting-and the shouting-casualties were minimal in comparison with those suffered during the June 1967 hostilities.

Four days later, another air battle erupted over the Suez, and the day's claimed casualties were still heavier. The action began when Israeli craft took to the air to hit at Egyptian artillery. At first, they were unopposed, but Egypt later scrambled half a dozen MIGs. Dogfights flared along the length of the canal. That afternoon, Egypt hit back on a larger scale.

Sometimes the old mains break, as recently happened on the Big Creek interceptor line. Each day for the past month, 25 million gallons of raw sewage have cascaded from a ruptured pipe, spilling a gray-green torrent into the Cuyahoga and thence into Lake Erie...
...bill that opens all federal policies to challenge might seem doomed in the House, which still has to approve it. But Jackson is undaunted. As a strong supporter of the ABM, he got the Nixon Administration to give qualified endorsement to his bill, and he expects the House to go along. "This bill required months of intricate negotiations," says Jackson. "We're going to get it passed...
