...complex that the U.N. subcommittee has shied away from it. By 1969, the Communications Satellite Corp. will have five Early Birds in space, which will enable any single TV broadcast to blanket the globe, and within the next few years some 20 countries will have built stations to tune in on Comsat's broadcasts. Such prophets as RCA's David Sarnoff foresee the day when it will be possible to reach every home in every country by direct broadcast from a satellite. Not everyone, of course, can be expected to view this possibility with enthusiasm. The Russians would...

Dial phones-some 3,000 of them-are being installed, and Cavalrymen can tune in to Big Valley Radio, a twelve-hour FM station built by the troopers from scrounged equipment and featuring mainly rock 'n' roll tapes contributed by the men themselves. In the heat of An Khe's sunny clime, ice is still a luxury.

In the view of "senior Western diplomats," reported New York Times Moscow Correspondent Peter Grose, North Viet Nam has become unsure of Red Chinese stability, is edging reluctantly into Moscow's sphere of influence...
...government is already subsidizing them to the tune of $100 million a year, and few politicians care to add to that cost. As a result, the next major piece of business before Parliament will be a bill, shelved two years ago after strong opposition, that cuts down on government subsidies and, at the same time, grants the railroads some relief from government control. Under this proposal, the railroads would be able to set their own rates in areas where they compete (the government would still set rates where one railroad has a monopoly). And they would be allowed to abandon...
