...Shukairy's recruiters to go to work in Jordan, the King drew the line. "In this country there will be one army with one loyalty," he said. "Anything else is an infringement of sovereignty and will not be tolerated." With that, Shukairy turned on Hussein, presumably with the tacit consent of Nasser, who is none too happy with Hussein's recent warmth toward Saudi Arabia's King Feisal, Nasser's bitterest Arab enemy. Wrote Cairo's semiofficial Al Goumhouria: "The Palestine Liberation Organization has no alternative but to enter a battle to the finish with...
...control center first stared in apparent disbelief. They were well aware that the Russians had failed at least four times before landing an instrument package intact on the moon and that the first seven of the ten planned Surveyor shots had been designated "engineering flights"-a tacit admission that U.S. scientists expected many failures before a successful soft landing was achieved. But when telemetry continued after impact-evidence that Surveyor had survived the landing-disbelief gave way to wild cheering. Half an hour later, on radioed command, the craft's television camera began to take its first pictures...
...With tacit but clear approval from the military, Indonesian students continued to roam Djakarta's hot, humid streets, chanting shrill slogans, waving signs, and daubing threats on walls, shop windows and automobiles-demanding that the long-postponed Provisional Peoples Consultative Congress convene by June 1.

Nasser is also locked in a struggle with the Red Chinese, who are sharply extending their influence in Republican Yemen. Already Peking has reportedly sent some $45 million in aid, put 3,300 Chinese technicians to work for the Republican government, and is designing...
...publication is advertised does not affect its content. The other tests for obscenity, that the work appeals to "prurient interests," that it is "patently offensive," and that it is "without redeeming social value," all refer directly to the substance of the material. But the advertising criterion is a tacit admission by the Court that it cannot draw a clear distinction between a work that is obscene and one that is not on the strength of the material itself. If a book is not "patently offensive," how can the way in which it is publicized make it so? The advertising test...
