When Harris was scheduled to be arrested by U. S. Marshalls, the film crew was at the Harris home to record the event as were representatives of the national press. Marshalls deliberately delayed the arrest four days to make the event coincide with the Apollo moonshot last July. Now, shortly after the first anniversary of the arrest, "Carry It On" [the film] has been completed by UPA... of DEI... whose major income source is NASA. So NASA is now publicizing an event they once inadvertently helped to cover up. Crazy business...
...Fell on Alabama, the future King led Tricia onto the floor for one of several sedate rounds. The beat alternated between the pedestrian smoothness of the Marine Band and the jolting rock of The Guess Who, a Canadian group that has made a hit out of their antiwar, anti-U.S. song, American Woman. Anne and Tricia danced on with various partners well past the 2:15 a.m. departure of David, Julie and Charles. Earlier, unnoticed and in keeping with his welcoming promise that he would "get out of sight so you will feel completely at home," President Nixon...
...alerting the world to the presence of two new Soviet-controlled fighter bases near the Suez Canal, U.S. military intelligence analysts last week were growing more and more concerned with evidence of increased Russian activity in Cuba.

Nearly a third of the "young people" were over 25; one owned up to being 47. Several sported the thinning hair and thickening waistlines that characterize the men who are known on the world conference circuit as "professional youths." So prominent were the pros, especially among the Communist delegations, that the organizers considered tossing out everyone who could not prove himself under 30. But youth conferences, apparently, are too important...
...U. A.W. President Leonard Woodcock, who succeeded the late Walter Reuther, will settle for no less than an 8% annual pay and benefit boost-for openers. That would match the average increase in U.S. union contracts negotiated in 1970's first quarter. The U.S. wage spiral will not be broken until one major labor leader settles for less than the average, but that leader will quite possibly be tossed out of his job by angry unionists. At G.M., an 8% raise would work out to 46? an hour for the first year, raising the company's average labor...
