...according to U.S. estimates, only 1,500 to 2,000 Russians will be left in Cuba compared with some 30,000 troops and technicians in 1962. U.S. intelligence is convinced that the Russians have indeed removed all their nuclear ballistic missiles. But the Russians have left behind an impressive array of "defensive" hardware: battalions of tanks, hundreds of mobile nonnuclear FROGs (free-rocket-overground) with a 30-mile range, about 60 supersonic MIG-21 jet fighters and more than 100 antiaircraft SAM rockets. Ready to step in at the 25 SAM sites around the island are Cuban crews, who have...
...President was the picture of ease. His biggest news concerned a "very comprehensive" study of the U.S. draft system and military manpower policy which he had ordered. The outcome, he said, might indicate the possibility of ending the draft within a decade. Again, he rattled off a dizzying array of statistics, including some to show how a nationwide rail strike would put a disastrous crimp in the economy. And there were a few more words about his political plans: "I have tried to be President of all the people," Johnson said. "I'm going to try to stay...
Velour tops, the European version of the American sweatshirt, coordinate with long and short skirts or pants, and judging by the selection in the Square, are extremely popular. TOWN AND TRAVEL carries the most complete array of shirts in this velvety cotton material--3 styles of cardigan and 5 of pullovers ($12-15) in every color.

Conductor Nino Sanzogno explained to his cast at Milan's Piccola Scala that the Italian premiere of Kurt Weill's Mahagonny would have to include some English lyrics: the bitter logic of Bertolt Brecht's libretto demands them. The cast did its best with a baffling array of polyglot lines ("Good morning, caro Signor Jack O'Brien!"), but when it came to singing "Worst of all, Benares is said to have been perished by an earthquake," the chorus sensibly defected. "Guarda qua Benares, è state messa giù da un terremoto," sang the mutineers, leaving American...
Eavesdropping may not be nice, but it gets niftier all the time. From gleaming electronics factories and grubby back-street workshops has come an ever-subtler array of "surveillance instruments" to penetrate the individual's privacy. The devices are now so easy to plant and so hard to detect that their likely victims-lovers or diplomats, criminals or key executives-can seldom be wholly sure any more that confidential conversations are not being overheard or recorded. Private eyes have become private ears, and they have never been more prosperous. They snoop with "bugs" hidden in hatbands or ballpoint pens...
