...fourth raid on the compound since it was removed from the proscribed list two weeks ago. One reason U.S. planners are anxious to destroy the helicopters is that they could be used to transport mobile SAM antiaircraft missiles into positions near the DMZ. Once in place, the SAMS could zero in on the big and unmaneuverable B-52s, whose huge bomb loads have so effectively broken up North Vietnamese troop concentrations around Con Thien...
...convoys headed for the sea. As he promised at the Arab sum mit at Khartoum in August, Egypt's Gamal Abdel Nasser is calling his sol diers home. Five thousand have already left, and another 5,000 are converging on the Red Sea port of Hodeida to await transport. The remaining 10,000 are pulling out of their defensive posi tions in Yemen's bleak highlands, abandoning the Republican-held capital of San'a and the dusty town of Taiz. By the middle of November, according to Cairo's semiofficial newspaper Al Ahram, even the Egyptian...
...ruling marked the first enforcement of the state's new Taylor Law. Last month it replaced the Condon-Wadlin Act, which had required such harsh punishment that it was rarely enforced. (Transport Workers President Mike Quill was jailed during an illegal strike in 1966, but the penalty was for contempt of court, not violation of Condon-Wadlin.) The Taylor Law is an attempt to deal with a growing tendency among public-employee unions to ignore injunctions and strike anyway (TIME, Sept. 29). It holds unions responsible, where Condon-Wadlin used to be aimed against the individual employee. When...
...Thousands. Where to cut? Most members of Congress oppose amputation of major programs. Instead, critics insist that the Administration can judiciously defer or slow down spending in nonessential areas and still save $5 billion or more. Most often mentioned are military construction in the U.S., the supersonic transport project, the space program, research and development in all fields (which now amounts to $17 billion), and such frills as highway beautification. Last week Wisconsin's John Byrnes, senior Republican on Ways and Means, got a call from the Interior Department informing him of a $2,000 grant for picnic facilities...
Servant or Scourge? The most determined opponent of sonic boom-and of the nation's plans to build a supersonic transport (SST)-is Harvard Physicist William Shurcliff, 58, who worked on the atomic bomb with Vannevar Bush, and is now senior research associate at the Cambridge Electron Accelerator. Six months ago, Shurcliff, with nine friends, founded the Citizen's League Against the Sonic Boom, and membership has since grown to 1,320 in 45 states. In letters to members and newspaper ads, Shurcliff has propounded his fears that the SST might ultimately be permitted to fly at supersonic...
