...trouble began when U.S. Ambassador Sol M. Linowitz openly announced that the U.S. supported Plaza, confident that Plaza had the votes wrapped up in the OAS Council. Seeing a good issue, Panama's Ambassador Eduardo Ritter Aislan immediately lashed out at Yanqui pressure, rallied support for his own candidacy and on the first ballot managed to prevent Plaza from getting the 15-vote majority that he needed for election. When the voting was still deadlocked after three more ballots, the Council declared an eleven-week "cooling-off" period. In the end, Ritter defeated himself by calling a special session...
...Edwards' Olympic boycott has drawn more scoffs than support from Negro athletes. Last week, though, he did find one pressure point to hit: the rigidly all-white New York Athletic Club, which was celebrating the 100th anniversary of its annual track meet at Manhattan's new Mad ison Square Garden. With the support of militant Negro groups, including H. Rap Brown's ill-named Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, Edwards got scores of Negroes to withdraw from the meet.

Not even the generation gap, though that exists. But what might be called the organizational gap. The well-organized, Wakefield found, generally support the war in Viet Nam; the organizational dropouts...
Packaged Mill. Before President Chiang Kai-shek gave the 11 project his support, businessmen and government officials spent 18 months studying a stack of reports from steel experts. Several factors argued with some persuasiveness against the effort. Among them: the proximity of Japan's burgeoning steel mills and the relatively small demand for semi-finished steel on the island, now amounting to 500,000 tons a year...
