...sandwich sign and the Uncle Sam suit, remember which one is Evans and which one is Novak, explain why we tolerate William Loeb's tarnal foolishness in the Manchester Union Leader, and then put on DeKalb Seed Corn caps and decide which of a dozen self-swollen hot-air balloons is least likely to lead the nation to shame and ruin...
...that was only one of a pride of U.S. military maneuvers round the world last week. At Grafenwohr, West Germany, a U.S. tank battalion roared into combat exercises after having been flown in from Fort Hood, Texas, on a "no notice" emergency drill. At Florida's Eglin Air Force Base, 20,000 soldiers, sailors and airmen prepared to launch "Bold Eagle 80," a nine-day maneuver to practice coming to the aid of an invaded ally. In the Indian Ocean, a U.S. Navy seven-ship carrier task force joined up with a five-ship Middle East force to show...
...program for the MX ICBM. The movable MX is theoretically invulnerable to surprise attack, so when the Pentagon starts deploying the first of these missiles in Utah and Nevada in 1986, the window of vulnerability will begin closing. The U.S. has also been moving ahead with the $4.4 billion air-launched cruise missile program; the 1980 budget provides $90 million for it. Under the current timetable, the first cruise missiles are to be deployed at the end of 1981 and would probably be launched from converted...
Another step to increase the nation's strategic capability, a proposal by Air Force Chief of Staff Lew Allen Jr., is to radically upgrade 155 of his F-111s. A major part of his plan: extending the fuselages of 66 of the FB-111 fighter-bombers 104 inches and installing the General Electric engines that were designed originally for the canceled B-l bomber. This would enable these FB-111s to fly into the U.S.S.R. faster (at 740 m.p.h., vs. 450 for the B-52) and more safely at low altitudes. The FB-111 would be more difficult...
...memory of last year's 24-24 tie at Palmer Stadium surely haunts Restic. Crissy bedeviled Harvard all afternoon with 67 yards rushing and 81 more through the air, a performance that the Crimson's Ralph Polillio, now graduated, matched nearly yard for yard. The game ended with a sickening thud for Restic's charges, however. When Harvard appeared to be heading for what looked like the winning score, Polillio fumbled away the ball on the Princeton 8-yd, line with just 38 seconds left to play...
