The Mark 17 reentry vehicle by Avco, Wilmington MA, had A$40 million spent since April with A$116 million planned by July 1970.

Greece coup motive explained by King Constantine
King Constantine says his abortive counter coup was driven by feeling boxed in by the Athens military regime and the demand to sign unacceptable decrees. He cites army officer retirements and promotions and northern Greece armoured units as factors that led him to act and then flee to Rome to avoid bloodshed amid a purging plan targeting officers who supported him.
