...move it up-if only it could find a working government to which it could turn over power. Anti-British terrorism in South Arabia has already taken the lives of 56 British soldiers, and some 300 Arabs have died as a result of a feud between two opposing terrorist groups. East week, fed up with it all, Britain announced that it will grant South Arabia independence by the end of November whether or not there is a government there to receive...

Meeting in Cairo under the auspices of Gamal Abdel Nasser, the two terrorist groups-the National Liberation Front (N.L.F.) and the Front for the Liberation of Occupied South Yemen (FLOSY)-had been unable to agree for weeks on forming a new government.

If anything, the Baathist Party members who rule the country have become more brazen; even Egypt...
...order to combat pursuing MIGs, now considerably less in evidence. > In the South, Viet Cong strength is dropping. Recruitment, once thought to be adding 7,000 men per month to guerrilla ranks, is now estimated to be running at only 3,500. One result has been a decline in terrorist incidents from 2,700 to 1,700 a month. While estimates of either side's effective control over the populace have always been suspect, the Administration figures that the South Vietnamese civilians under guerrilla rule now total some 25% of the country's 17 million people (v. more...
