...Russian negotiators find themselves concurring on anything. So last week, when diplomats from the two countries agreed upon a draft treaty to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons, the general enthusiasm was understandable. After five years of dickering, it was all too easy to overlook the fact that one vital article of the treaty had been left blank. The negotiators in Geneva simply agreed to resume arguing later about the inspection procedures that all along have been one of the major stumbling blocks...
...Administration's newly ex panded list of Northern targets. Starting with the successful attack a fort night ago against Hanoi's Paul Doumer rail and highway bridge, the missions were planned to apply yet another turn of the screw against North Viet Nam's vital rail system. Though the U.S. has long been attacking the railways south of the buffer zone, Hanoi still imports the vast bulk of its war materiel by train. While petroleum, food and fertilizer imports come in mostly by sea, the rail system so far this year has car ried 62,000 tons...

As U.S. forces faced up to the vital job of coping with the regular Communist armies, the hope was that when the big Red units began to topple in defeat, the guerrillas in the rear would lose heart. It seemed reasonable to believe that as their supply lines were bombed and as their soldiers were denied their customary rice rations, the Viet Cong would lose their stomach for revolution. So far, there are few signs that the elusive and dedicated guerrillas have lost either heart or stomach...
Postwar Windfall. Braving such obstacles, Lusteveco deploys a fleet of 500 trucks on land, a small coastal navy of 16 tankers, 107 tugs and 448 barges at sea, and a string of modern warehouses at major ports. The company moves 80% of the country's vital interisland traffic: home-grown timber, coconut and sugar on its way to port for overseas markets; steel, machinery and other imports headed from Luzon to other parts of the nation. Lusteveco stevedores shoulder nearly all the Philippines' foreign trade borne by ships, which may be docked by Lusteveco tugs, provisioned at Lusteveco...
