...ground, the Israeli army has more than 3,500 tanks, of which 1,460 are from the U.S.: 810 highly advanced M-60s and 650 M-48s. The Israeli invasion of Lebanon effectively used the U.S.-made Ml 13 armored personnel carriers, of which Israel has 4,000. Nearly 1,000 American artillery pieces, including 175-mm self-propelled guns and 155-mm and 203-mm self-propelled howitzers, provide 90% of the Israeli army's powerful punch. Both the air force and the army rely heavily on U.S. missiles. The crunch in any cutoff of military aid would...
Maternity pants, it must be admitted, remain a problem. Most of them have an elastic belly that looks like some weird kind of mutant marsupial pouch; even size 48s and a set of suspenders would be preferable. No haute couture designer has come up with an adequate solution to this challenge in aesthetic engineering, in part, because no designer-with the exception of Givenchy-seems especially interested in doing a special maternity line.

The drain on American reserves has caused some grumbling in the Pentagon, where generals complain that the Israelis come...
...wooden shacks and prosperous brick houses ten miles south of the DMZ on the banks of the Cua Viet River, one vital North Vietnamese objective was spiked by the tanks of the tough 20th Armored Squadron. As the Communist spearhead rolled south on Highway 1, the 34-ton M-48s of the 20th sped north. They met-and stopped-the Communist armor a scant 300 yards north of the Cua Viet bridge. The tankers and two companies of South Vietnamese marines held the bridge long enough for it to be blown up by an American adviser. "Those outfits are heroes...
...that are almost prerequisites for the job: > Nearly all of them, for example, reached physical maturity early and recognized the market value of their assets. Said one girl: "Sure, after I bloomed I always dressed so people could see how big my breasts were. After all, a pair of 48s can make a girl feel like a real person. Everybody pays attention...
