...member) Trades Union Congress, led by one of Nasser's fondest admirers, called for a general strike "by every laborer, merchant, student and farmer-a day for remembering our martyrs and hailing the exiled"-and at week's end police were forced to quell striking rioters with tear gas. In London the idea of restoring colonial control was repugnant to a Labor government. But back to colonialism went Prime Minister Harold Wilson. As one official put it: "Damned to Nasser. Our aim is independence for South Arabia in 1968, Nasser...
...Macapagal, is running scared. The Nacionalistas are crowing that public-opinion polls show their candidate, Senate President Ferdinand Marcos, neck and neck with Macapagal. Both candidates have published glowing biographies. The President's, entitled Macapagal-The Incorruptible, runs over 200 pages. His rival's, called For Every Tear a Victory, is not only fatter and more fulsome, but has been made into a film that runs for three weepy hours.

CBS's The Wild, Wild West and Ulysses S. Grant ("The nation is in a pot of trouble, boy") enlist Major James West...
Once again world headlines blared the story and Hanoi yelled that the U.S. was using "toxic gas." Utter found his decision to try gas again under investigation, even though tear gas has remained regular issue for all Marine units. Unless Washington orders otherwise, Lieut. Colonel Utter is likely to fare kindly at the hands of U.S. brass in Saigon. Privately, most of them think that he did the right thing under the circumstances-and that a reluctance to use tear gas is an unnecessary and even inhumane restriction in doing what is one of the most unpleasant and difficult jobs...
