...next year of two multibillion-dollar air force bases at Eitam and Etzion. The supersecret and formidably protected Etzion field is described by U.S. experts as "the finest tactical fighter base in the world." During the 1973 October War, Israeli Mirage interceptors scrambled from the field to win 42 aerial dogfights without a loss...
...Soviets claim cnly to have "access" to bases in Viet Nam. The installations there, they insist, are still very much in Vietnamese hands. Not so, say U.S. experts. Aerial photography has discovered that the Soviets are building and operating a support pier to tend the nuclear-powered submarines that frequently call at Cam Ranh Bay. In the past few months, communications intercepts have picked up voices speaking native Russian from the control tower at Danang's military airfield, also U.S.-built.

...Such an image could become excruciatingly kitschy (one cutout angelfish would do it), but what preserves the balance and tightness of Pfaff's work is her daring, uninhibited sense of abstract form.

Clearly, this is not boxing as it really is, but boxing as the movies saw it; indeed, the fights are choreographed just like the corny old boxing movies like Golden Boy. This is boxing the way Life magazine saw it, boxing...
...smoke alarms on all floors, elevators that return automatically to the ground floor in case of fire, and outside stairways to allow quick evacuations. Yet no matter how new they are, high-rise hotels-indeed, all high-rise buildings-remain largely out of the life-saving reach of firetruck aerial ladders. Most of them can extend only 90 ft. or so, or as high as the eighth or ninth floor...
