...close touch with the government's moves at the top. Correspondent James Shepherd, for whom the conflict brought rather sharp memories of 1947 when he covered the opening shots in the Kashmir dispute, was the first reporter to reach the city of Amritsar after the major Indian thrust started there. At midweek, Tokyo Bureau Chief Jerrold Schecter covered the opening of Hello, Dolly! and then flew to India to join the war team...
Since its army is much the larger (867,000 men to 253,000), India went on the attack in five widely separated sectors of the Punjab front?three columns aimed at encircling Lahore, Pakistan's second largest city, one thrust at Sialkot, and the last struck at Karachi via the town of Gadra.

Ayub Khan derided the Chinese threat to India, pointing out that a major attack from Tibet would leave the Chinese dangling at the end of a 1,700-mile supply line.

Next he yawed the spacecraft and fired the aft thrusters to move it onto the same orbital plane as the phantom. After one last forward thrust to raise the apogee, Cooper had his craft in a co-elliptical orbit with the phantom Agena-close enough so that the pilot, using on-board radar and computer, could eventually bring his craft to within 17 miles below and 38 miles behind the phantom. "Mission accomplished," announced the ground...
With a huge affiliation of more than 200 churches with 350 million mem bers, the World Council is not greatly concerned that it will lose its adherents or its thrust to Mclntire's group, and is simply ignoring the hecklers. Nevertheless, officials could scarcely be delighted with the fact that Mclntire's group returned home last week to continue their zealous campaign against "this unholy alliance...
