...result of the hijackings, airline and Government officials are convinced that tragedy is only a matter of time if skyjack fever continues. They are equally convinced that the only effective deterrent is to make examples of captured hijackers, who face a possible death sentence under federal law. That, in turn, is not possible until Cuba agrees to extradite offenders-something it has so far refused to do. The International Federation of Airline Pilots has under discussion a proposal to boycott flights into countries that refuse to sign extradition agreements...
After ghetto rioting and Negro militance began to turn popular opinion against the black cause, Johnson's response was uncertain. He continued to fight for civil rights legislation, and his successes will be a durable monument to the will of a Southerner who had earlier been less than zealous on the Negro's behalf.

"I dove into the net for that puck to save it as a memento," he recalls. As it happened, it was a slightly premature gesture. In the remaining minutes, Red slammed home three more goals to become the first...
...government fails to meet the needs, he fears that voters may turn to the extreme left or right. Italian industry has had a renaissance because competition has forced it to look outward and adopt imaginative methods-and Agnelli believes that there is a lesson here for the government. "The trouble is that we compete with Detroit," he says, "but Rome doesn't have to compete with Washington." Industry has finally given Italy a modern economy. Now the job is to make the state and society fully modern...
