...American pilots now fly two-thirds of all combat missions in Viet Nam, but the U.S.-trained VNAF should be able to handle all preplanned missions by 1972. U.S. airmen, however, will still be needed in case of sudden enemy contacts and to serve as an aerial umbrella for South Viet Nam's cities. COMBAT SUPPORT TROOPS, including artillery and engineer, medical, and even armored personnel, will remain at a level of 20,000 after the withdrawals have been completed. ARVN artillerymen have shown themselves highly proficient with their American-supplied guns, and should be equal to all government...
...Greek temples of Paestum are surrounded by umbrella pines and artichoke fields, and until recently artichokes were the main preoccupation of Farmer Luigi Franco and his son Francesco. Not any more. Last July Francesco broke a plow on what turned out to be the limestone roof of an ancient Lucanian tomb. Such tombs, decorated with the crude paintings of the local tribesmen who made them, have been found before in southern Italy. But this one was different. When excavated by Archaeologist Mario Napoli, superintendent of antiquities for the district of Salerno, the walls of the tomb were found...

...been seen by man since it was sent to the moon some 2½ years ago. In one shot, Astronaut Conrad is shown examining Surveyor as it stands in its crater. In the background, protruding above the crater's edge, only 600 ft. away, Intrepid and the nearby umbrella antenna gleam in the sunlight. To the dismay of scientists-who wanted to study the discoloration of Surveyor's white paint-all of the Surveyor pictures are in black and white; while photographing the little craft, the astronauts forgot to exchange their black-and-white film for color...
Every two or three years in Sweden, representatives of labor and management negotiate an umbrella agreement, setting the rates for wage increases across the country. The terms are then written into detailed contracts for each industry. New contracts negotiated last June provided for an increase of 6.5% during the first year, plus another 3.5% the second year. One reason why employers can afford such increases is that the LOs enthusiastically cooperate in raising productivity, which in Sweden alone has gone up at an average of more than 7% a year during the 1960s...
