...COURSE the most important one for the community was the first one, which demanded that the University immediately abolish all reserve officer training, and specifically said "break all existing contracts." What's important about this, I think, is not so much the specific terminus ad quem cited, but the relationship in the community's mind between that, which, incidentally, is a demand to ignore the Faculty's vote to retain ROTC but on essentially an extracurricular basis, or at least, to turn it around, to remove curricular credit and let ROTC remain on whatever term could then be worked...
...Mississippi's east bank, which charges $29 a night for a suite. To repair his image, King checked into the Negro-owned Lorraine, a nondescript, two-story cinderblock structure near Memphis' renowned Beale Street (and conveniently close to the Claiborne Temple on Mason Street, kickoff point and terminus for the sanitation marches). At the Lorraine, King and his entourage paid $13 a night for their green-walled, rust-spotted rooms...
Barrier Post. Con Thien is also important because it is likely to be one of the posts along the barrier that Defense Secretary Robert McNamara said would be constructed south of the DMZ.

From the Pentagon, the machine maintains continuous communication with...
...make that run became lost last week on the chartless sea of international diplomacy. Under the shadow of a United Nations resolution permitting the British to use "force" to preserve their oil embargo of Rhodesia (TIME, April 15), the Ioanna V finally docked in the Portuguese port of Beira, terminus of an oil pipeline to Rhodesia. There, separated from the end of the pipeline by only 30 ft., it waited. Several hundred miles to the south its sister ship Manuela set a course out of the South African port of Durban-destination unknown...
