Brussels, the President's first stop, is the capital of a tiny nation divided by ethnic schism. Yet, as the headquarters of both NATO and the Common Market, it is also the capital of European cooperation. It is, as well, the European base for a growing U.S. industrial complex. The main route into the city from Zaventem airport passes through what is known locally as "Little Texas"?an unmistakably American creation that includes a new Esso research center as well as plants built by IBM and Honeywell. Nixon will enter the city with King Baudouin. On the President...
Other attacks shook the imperial city of Hue, Pleiku in the Central Highlands and the sprawling supply base at Cam Ranh Bay. In the wake of the bombardments, the Communists attempted a few scattered small-scale ground probes. Infiltrating Communist infantry and sappers were loose in Danang, and local allied commanders decreed a 24-hour curfew to aid in flushing them out. In Saigon, a demolition squad slammed B40 rocket rounds into an isolated precinct station and killed four policemen before being driven off with their own loss of four dead. Long Binh, a U.S. headquarters and logistics base just...
UNTIL the Six-Day War, Kallia was a sprawling Jordanian army base, rich in history but little else. Near by sit the brown Judean cliffs in whose natural caves were found the treasures of the Dead Sea scrolls.

For a time, Kallia was merely another dot on Israeli military...

Many supplement their base pay with consulting jobs at up to $250 a day; professors of business may gross as much as $60,000 a year...
Elated by the results, NASA has ordered the construction of a flight-test version of Whitcomb's wing. At Edwards Air Force Base in California, the wing will be mounted on a modified F-8 jet-fighter and will undergo test flights in the summer of 1970. If the performance measured in Langley's wind tunnel is duplicated in flight, a new generation of more efficient subsonic jets may soon be cruising major U.S. air routes at speeds as high as 645 m.p.h...
