...original work. He has since been using them to explain the historic mission to NASA's own staff and to aerospace contractors. ¶ In our cover story on "French Chef" Julia Child (Nov. 25, 1966) we used a picture of her butcher, Jack Savenor, of Cambridge, Mass. A Swift & Co. wholesaler in Illinois read the story, made an arrangement to supply the butcher with meat at a substantial discount so the dealer could put a sign on his plant saying "We supply Julia Child." Since Butcher Savenor was identified in our story his sales have increased tenfold-from...
...Swift Sword. Pressing for a swift sword stroke against Hanoi's logistical network, McConnell cited the Israeli air attacks last June against the Egyptians: "If you had applied those sorties in 1965 when the North Vietnamese had practically no defense up there, you could have gone a long way. They had no opposition." Then he added with phlegmatic poignancy: "So it is a different world than...
...ESCALATION. The most modest proposals call for a pause in the bombing of the North and reduction of U.S. "search-and-destroy" operations in the South.

Rash of Terrorism. Ever since Israel's swift conquests, Premier Levi Eshkol has been under heavy pressure to permit Jews to move into and settle choice farm areas in the occupied Arab territories. He has been asked to allow 150 separate sites to be so settled, and last week he finally gave in-on one. He allowed a dozen paramilitary farm youths to reoccupy Etzion on the West Bank, sacred to Israelis as the site where four kibbutzim were wiped out in 1948 in a gallant stand that helped save Jerusalem from the Arab Legion. Fearing that the move...
Down to the Spot Welds. The man chiefly responsible for the car's swift success is Terry Beckett, 43, a London School of Economics graduate. Once the decision to design the Cortina was made, Ford began a crash program with an eight-man design and management team under Beckett's direction. With an accelerated production schedule-only 20 months from programming to production v. the usual 30 months-Ford could not tolerate errors. To avoid them, Beckett filled a 400-page "Red Book" with each of the car's 10,000 parts listed according to projected weight...
