...percentage of Negroes registered ranges from 2% to 10% Then Katzenbach gently squeezed the trigger. Federal examiners, all of them Southerners who were employed by the U.S. Civil Service Commission, were sent into each designated county to open offices and begin processing applicants. Their instructions were clear and un mistakable: Register all Negroes except convicted felons or those who fail to meet age or residence requirements. "All Negroes?" a newsman asked Katzenbach. "Negroes who can't read or write?" "Absolutely," he replied. "Treat them the same as whites. If they have been registering illiterate whites, then register illiterate Negroes...
...Turkish press blossomed with headlines when Kosygin promised the visiting Turks that the Kremlin would study ways to improve the living conditions of the hapless Turkish Cypriots. Though a new dollop of Soviet aid may come out of the trip, many Turks found Urguplii's junket to Moscow un settling. The thaw with Russia has had the effect of setting off a growing clam or by leftist politicians, intellectuals and editors that a few years ago would have landed the most vocal in jail. It was enough to cause some second thoughts. Istanbul's daily Diinya commented: "Improvement...
...Less than 30 years ago, cystic fibrosis was not even recognized as a distinct disease. It was regarded as a relative ly rare and puzzling inherited disorder of the pancreas, which for some un known reason caused the lungs to fill with an unusually thick viscid mucus.

Though industrial projects already un der way ($5 billion worth of them) will be allowed to reach completion, the heavier effort for the next few years will go into quick-yielding small projects for farmers - wells, irrigation and roads. This year's harvest gives him a breather: 87,200,000 tons of grain have been...
...nuclear powers negotiated a test ban treaty in 1963, they were forced to confine their agreement to atmospheric testing. On-the-spot inspections of underground tests were politically unacceptable to the Russians, and remote monitoring by seismographs was considered unreliable. The trouble was, some explosions were likely to go un detected, and low-yield tests, when they were recorded, could not be reliably distinguished from earthquakes. But now, as negotiators are getting back to business again in Geneva, a new element has entered the argument. The U.S. is putting the finishing touches on an ultrasensitive seismic listening post that should...
