...pact, which would open a potentially lucrative air route, could yet be grounded by Moscow, but the Japanese appear to have bowed to all major Russian conditions. State-owned Japan Air Lines and the Soviets' Aeroflot would jointly operate a weekly flight using giant Russian TU-114 turboprop planes, Russian cockpit crews (with a Japanese pilot sitting in as a face-saver) and mixed Soviet-Japanese cabin crews. Because of Russian sensitivity about Siberian military installations, Japan's 707 and DC-8 jets would at first be confined to the Tokyo-Kharbarovsk leg; after two years, the Russians...
...entered the great grey church, 3,500 invited guests welcomed him with a roof-raising hosanna of cheers and applause, a response never heard before in the cathedral's staid confines.

Many conservative Frenchmen think it undignified to address God with the intimate tu rather than the more formal vous, and wonder why the translators couldn't find a better word for Christ's redemption than the commercial term rachat (rebuying...
...more than a few hours. What South Viet Nam's fighting men need is relief, however momentary, to shed the fatigue and despair of too much combat. Only the U.S. and its allies can provide that respite. When they do, the leadership and combativeness exemplified by Corporal Tu and Laughing Larry Luong, Major Cuong and Lieut. Commander Chau, may well exert themselves in every service...
