There are few roads in Yemen, and last week they were all crowded with Egyptian troop 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...
Many papers complain that Johnson is not showing enough resourcefulness as a peacemaker. While supporting the recent troop increase in Viet Nam, the Minneapolis Tribune fretted: "Reluctant as we are to criticize the President's handling of the war, escalation of the bombing in such a dangerous way makes us wonder whether the Administration is in a rut and needs some fresh thinking about our entire Asian policy." Usually an eloquent backer of the President's Viet Nam policy, the Washington Post was disturbed by his latest comments on the war. "The President's speech and other...

As founder and president of Boyden Associates, Inc., he has supplied more big businesses with top managers than any other U.S. executive recruiter...
...beginning of the end came, oddly enough, partly as the result of a considerable initial victory. Last August, in a lightning attack, Ojukwu's forces swept westward out of Biafra and captured Nigeria's oil-rich Midwestern state. But the drive left Ojukwu's 7,000 troops stretched dangerously thin over 39,000 sq. mi. Rather than strike back, Gowon quietly built his troop strength to 42,000 men and kept adding heavy arms, ammunition and jet planes, which Ojukwu could ill afford. Then, two weeks ago, after Ojukwu's Midwestern administrator proclaimed the "autonomous, independent...
