Obviously, as long as the U.S. has its troops stationed in South Korea, the Pentagon regards the intelligence gathered by the EC-121s as worth the considerable risk. The same is true of the information collected by AGERS in other parts of the world. The provocations against them have been going on for a long time. General Earle Wheeler, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, recently disclosed that since 1949 U.S. reconnaissance ships and planes have been the targets of 41 attacks by the North Koreans...
...must try somehow to find a way to bind up this hemorrhaging of Arab pride and self-respect by recovering Egypt's lost territory is Gamal Abdel Nasser. It may be true, as he now insists, that he was pushed by Syria into the showdown with Israel in 1967. But it was he, in his longtime self-appointed role as the leader of all Arabs, who led Egypt, Jordan and Iraq into the war, and his country was the heaviest loser in men, arms, land and prestige.

His standing clearly reflects France's approval of his adept and sensible performance. True to the Fourth Republic style of cultivating groundswells, Poher held off from declaring his widely expected candidacy until the last minute (the deadline is this week) but did what he could to build suspense. He was feeling "calm and serene," he assured newsmen at his first press conference. What about entering...
...matter what they are wearing underneath, women from coast to coast are buying the nude look. In Cambridge, Mass., the buyer for a new shop, True International, reports a dizzy business in see-through shirts. "We can sell anything that is transparent and purple," she says. New Yorkers do not care what color it is: tissue-thin voile shirts are turning up like daffodils all over the city. In Washington, D.C., a lady reporter turned heads at the White House correspondents' dinner with a bare-midriff, see-through pajama set. Being diplomatic (or missing the point), George Romney asked...
