The thousands who shouted slogans outside the Old North Church while Ford spoke inside divided their anger over a variety of issues, from support for Israel to opposition to aid for Turkey to venom at busing in Boston. The crowd of 30,000 braving the wet chill night in Concord was gathered for the ostensible purpose of "sending a message to Wall Street" in protest of big business.

Far more commonplace wet-steam deposits have not yet become commercially productive in the U.S. They must be "flashed," or dried, before being used to spin generators...
...decides to hang on, it is because he hopes his forces can defend Phnom-Penh for three more months, until the wet season impedes the insurgents' drive. With an improved military situation, the President would expect political pressures to diminish. On the other hand, if he finally makes up his mind to leave, it may in no small measure be due to Cambodia's students. Last week, as rumors swept the capital that time had run out for the President and that a coup was imminent, leaders of the Association of Students of the Khmer Republic, which claims...
