Indonesia has thus been a prime target of foreign aid critics on Capitol Hill-and last week they were really steamed up. Released was testimony taken last June in a closed-door hearing before a House Appropriations Subcommittee. It nailed down the fact that Sukarno's luxury-loving government had purchased three jet airliners from the U.S.'s General Dynamics Corp. for $20 million-only a day before the U.S. granted Indonesia a $17 million "emergency" loan. The loan, Assistant Aid Administrator Seymour J. Janow told the subcommittee, was to help the "general stabilization of Indonesia...
Lisa's next target was Fidel Castro. For nearly a year she wrote to him through neutral embassies, slipped a letter to Fidel into the hands of Anastas Mikoyan, and persuaded miscellaneous ministers and ambassadors to ask Castro to see her. Finally her friend Alex Quaison-Sackey, Ghanaian Ambassador to Cuba and the U.N., helped get Lisa a visa. She stayed in Cuba four weeks, kept pelleting Castro with the pleas of her contacts. Castro succumbed, spent eight hours talking privately with her, and recorded a 40-minute interview after that...
From its inception Project Apollo has been beset by difficulties, not the least of which is the time limit on the program.

Crout, teaching fellow in Gen Ed, is also mobilizing support for Title X of the House Judiciary Subcommittee civil rights bill to enable civil rights cases to be removed more readily from local to federal district courts...
After a feeble field goal attempt from the Big Red 24, the visitors took over on the 20. Wood's lateral wasn't even close to its target, and the Crimson had another chance when Stan Yastrzemaki grabbed the loose ball. Grant bolted 10 yard to the five and Dockery four to the one yard line. After Grant was stopped on third down Bassett took the snap from Stephens and whipped a pass to Dockery who had taken one step into the end zone. The clock read nine seconds left when Hartranft made his third straight extra point...
