...code-named "Foxbat" by NATO, is the latest Russian interceptor. It can fly at Mach 3 (three times the speed of sound) and climb to 80,000 ft., 20,000 ft. higher than the operational ceiling of the U.S.-built F-4 Phantoms of the Israeli air force. This is the first time that the MIG-23, which is far too hot for Egyptian pilots to handle, has been sent outside the Soviet Union. MIG-21, the standard first-line Soviet fighter, has been sent in to replace planes lost last year in the war of attrition over the Suez...
...most advanced ground-to-air missiles in the Russian arsenal, is a mobile version of the stationary SA-2s. Code-named "Ganef"*by NATO, the SA-4s have tanklike tracks and can be swiftly shifted. They are being deployed as part of the defense umbrella near the Aswan Dam and at Nag Hamadi, 125 miles north of Aswan on the Nile. In addition, more SA-3s and SA-2s are being shipped to Egypt. Israeli military sources conjecture that with Egyptians manning missile defenses near Suez, the Russians may feel that more batteries are necessary to make...
...pernicious. At the committee hearing, CRR chairman Donald Anderson suggested that a central issue in the case would be the appropriateness of political discussion at what was intended to be a scientific meeting.

Consumer Advocate Robert Choate, who last year caused cereal makers to snap, sizzle and puff by questioning the nutritional benefits of their products, is pressing for a tough code to regulate promotions. He is particularly incensed by what he contends is the lack of nourishment in most edibles, especially cereals, hawked to the pre-teen market. "The commercials advise your child to equate sugar with health and snacks with happiness," he complains. Choate's code would require that precise nutrient values be listed in food commercials for children; promotions based on an item's sugar content would have...
Frobisher's last letter contained this sentence: "It was tyme for us to goa through with it." For Morison this sums up the code of the best mariners. It is his code too. At 83, Morison still sails. He rides horseback, too, and occasionally shows up at his office in Harvard's Widener Memorial Library in his riding britches, looking more like a pukka-sahib colonel than a professor or an admiral. At present he is working on a biography of Samuel de Champlain as well as a sequel to his present volume. When his own time comes...
