Alinsky's current, and curiously oldfashioned, theory is that the federal war on poverty is being used "to suffocate militant leadership that might threaten the Establishment." Such leadership among the poor themselves, says Alinsky, is their only real solution, and he incites it, as he acknowledges, by "rubbing raw the sores of discontent." Last week, following Alinsky's descent on Kansas City, the Missouri metropolis was sore all over. "Never in the 35 years that I have lived here," said one resident, "have I seen this town so torn by an issue...
...least likely to threaten Bond's supremacy is That Man in Istanbul, with Horst Bucholz battling a one-armed villain atop a minaret and performing other improbable feats to rescue a kidnaped scientist. A masquerade in a Turkish bath, long visits with FBI Sexpot Sylva Koscina and a tour of the city cannot save Istanbul. Delivering insouciant asides to the audience brings out the unseasoned ham in Horst...
...attraction in Tat Phnom last week was a network of foxholes from which, for a penny a round, villagers could fire at targets with authentic .30-cal. machine guns. The feature was tragically appropriate: war, in the form of Communist guerrillas, is slowly marching down the jungle trails to threaten the peace of Tat Phnom and hundreds of similar hamlets in Thailand's Northeast provinces...

But endless legal snarls threaten the growing use of A.I.D. to help sterile marriages (at least one in every ten). The big puzzle is whether A.I.D. is legally equivalent to adultery.

In 1945, a Cook County (Chicago) court backed the apparently prevailing view that A.I.D. does not constitute...
...Russian crews and many equipped with sophisticated new radar systems. MIG-21s have been spotted on airstrips in the North. In the South, there was evidence that the Viet Cong guerrillas might be equipped for the first time with 20-mm. and 37-mm. antiaircraft guns, which could seriously threaten the U.S. planes and helicopters that fly vital strafing and bombing missions. One U.S. F-4 Phantom hit by ground fire last week limped back to Danang airbase with a three-foot hole in its fuselage-big enough to have been caused by such A.A. batteries...
