Violence is often caused by "displaced aggression," when anger is forced to aim at a substitute target. Every psychologist knows that a man might beat his child because he cannot beat his boss. And a man may even murder because he feels rejected or "alienated."

Russia remains, of course, the chief target on China's periphery. The Chinese daily heap abuse on the Russians, and Moscow reported last week that hundreds of chanting Chinese demonstrators had tried to cross the Russian border at Khabarovsk in Siberia ear lier this year, calling on the Soviet guards to disobey their officers as men who had "sold themselves to American imperialism...

Last week, Vatican sources reported, Pope Paul VI decided to abolish the oath-taking requirement...
...above the moon as all radio contact ended. The best guess at J.P.L. is that the retrorocket exploded, blasting the craft to bits. Whether that actually happened, or whether Surveyor 4 disintegrated on impact, is a mystery that may never be solved-unless astronauts some day hike to the target site and examine the wreckage...
