calm tribesmen at Loyengalani, an oasis beside Lake Rudolf where
about 80 American astroners have set up 'equipment on a point of
land nicknamed Cape Kennedy.

earth and sun nearly 100 years ago is still told in legends as "the day

A Cambodian soldier wears a dead snake around his waist and
some beads as charms against injury as he prepares to enter
combat with his infantry unit near Phnom Penh. Meanwhile, in
Washington, the House blocked new spending for U.S. bombing
in Cambodia and the Senate took final action to cut off all present
funds for the bombing.
