Saturday's Crimson story on the Honeywell demonstration quoted a Honeywell public relations executive's denial of several charges concerning his company's production of anti-personnel weapons. Specifically, Stewart G. Baird claimed: that Honeywell's Rockeye II bomb is not an anti-personnel weapon but an "anti-tank" device; that the company has not made the guava bomb for two years; that Honeywell never produced SPIW's (Special Purpose Individual Weapon--fires flechettes, steel-finned darts 2-3"long), though he admitted that it "helped" in their development...
...claim that the Rockeye II is solely "anti-tank" is an old one. It is an out-and-out lie. According to a 1966 Congressional hearing, "the Rockeye II is a cluster bomb which contains anti-tank and anti-personnel bomblets" (emphasis added).

They lie on a bed of faded old nautical charts, maintenance manuals, burst sandbags and spilled sand, burned matchsticks, and unraveled corktips from cigarettes...
Target-Range Marksmanship. Designed to protect conventional 140-m.p.h. Hueys and other troop-carrying choppers against ground fire, the Cheyenne will pack rockets, anti-tank missiles, a grenade launcher and belly-mounted automatic cannon. Even its looks can kill: if the gunner, using a computer and enemy-seeking infra-red sight, has his hands full with one target, the pilot, who wears a special sight-equipped helmet, can automatically take aim at another merely by glancing...
