...VISTA, CAP, TAP, PROP, DWOP, HARYOU and related programs should be combined in a new government agency, Federal Legislation on Poverty (FLOP...
China-watching has become the indispensable underpinning for the evolution of U.S. policy. To get the material they need to form realistic analyses, both Government and academic experts tap numerous and diverse sources, covert and overt. The U.S. maintains its largest consulate in Hong Kong, where a corps of translators collects and analyzes an endless stream of Chinese periodicals, some smuggled out from remote provinces. The compulsive outpourings of Radio Peking and other internal radio stations are monitored by a string of sophisticated snooping devices on China's perimeter.

...laid his No. 9-iron second shot just 40 in. from the hole. Incredibly, he bungled the birdie putt. On the 420-yd. 18th, his second shot left him 40 ft. from the pin; his long curling putt for a birdie slid an inch past the cup. The tap-in gave him an even-par 288, locked him in a three-way tie with Jacobs and Gay Brewer...
