Cruising on a calm and brightly moonlit South China Sea last week during the naval exercise, the 16,000-ton Melbourne ripped into the U.S.S. Frank E. Evans, a 24-year-old, 2,200-ton American destroyer. Within five to six minutes, the bow of the bisected Evans sank in 5,500 feet of water; 74 of her 273-man crew were lost. Among the missing were three brothers, Gary, Gregory and Kelly Sage of Niobrara, Neb. Their deaths constituted the worst Navy family tragedy since the five Sullivan brothers perished aboard U.S.S.

After Luigi Longo's strong stand against the invasion of Czechoslovakia, the Soviet Embassy in Rome distributed a pamphlet criticizing the Italian party leader ?and cut back on aid to the Italians...
...Soviet leaders need a successful conference to prove to their own people that they are indeed the legitimate heirs of Lenin. "To justify one-party rule," says Kremlinologist Victor Zorza, "you must have an international sanction." The Soviet leaders also need the international endorsement to reassert their primacy within Eastern Europe. For all these reasons, Leo Labedz, editor of Survey, a London quarterly on Communist affairs, calls the conference an attempt to find "an ideological fig leaf" to cover Russia's own self-interest.
