...under pressure from President Johnson to calm the storm. Two weeks ago, Shriver killed a controversial research project that OEO had financed at Syracuse University. The program, aimed at encouraging the poor to promote their own interests more vigorously, was canceled after federal funds were used 1) to transport mobs to heckle Republican Mayor William Walsh during his re-election campaign, and 2) to bail demonstrators out of jail. Declared Walsh: "This program from its inception has tried to promote class warfare. Its concept, its purpose and its methods are completely alien to our American way of life...
...bank, a regional version of the World Bank, will fight Asia's crushing poverty by financing such sinews as industry, power, roads and transport. Jetting around the globe, teams led by gaunt Cornelio Balmaceda, the Philippines' Commerce Minister, have raised $936 million in capital for the banking marriage of East and West. Asian governments, which will control the bank, supplied $641 million of that money, the U.S. another $200 million. Europe left the bank shy of its goal of $1 billion in capital by pledging a disappointing $70 million; France and the U.S.S.R. stayed out, and Britain offered...
...Communist attacks last week. For Chu Pong is clearly a central enemy enclave and funnel point into South Viet Nam. On the Cambodian side, the hills slope gently, allowing easy access for the supplies and men arriving from the North. To the east, the la Drang River provides easy transport and a natural gateway to Viet Nam's central highlands-whose takeover some U.S. intelligence experts believe to be the goal of Hanoi's massive buildup.

Though it is still in the stage of wind-tunnel studies and drawing-board proposals, the much-heralded U.S. supersonic transport, which is scheduled to carry 150 passengers at speeds up to 1,900 m.p.h. by 1974, is already old-hat to some aeronautical engineers. They are working on a new and swifter generation of jets that will streak into the still unexplored speed range between the Air Force X-15's record 4,104 m.p.h. and the 17,500-m.p.h. velocities of orbiting space capsules. Designed for the near future, these scramjets (supersonic combustion ramjets) will be powered...
...energetic wife Mary as administrator, carefully address each of the 86 patients by name, even those who are close to senility. Such continuous and careful respect for the individual is an important part of the Whitaker therapy. "Our aim," says the husky, gentle doctor, who was a crack Marine transport pilot in World War II, "is to rehabilitate each one to his greatest capacity...
