...troops will have to learn, as the Viet Cong have, that in a water war, ammunition belts corrode and uniforms and boots can rot within a week. Finding adequate amounts of dry land for base camps will also be a problem. A good rest area is essential: even the long-inured Vietnamese seldom stay out in the field for more than 24 hours at a stint. Finding dry land to implant batteries of howitzers is difficult. More armed helicopters could fill the gap, but they require airports, which in the Delta must be built up with imported gravel...
...yards for having an ineligible receiver downfield. Right now, though, Navy's 1963 All-America Quarterback Roger Staubach, 24, pretty much has to throw to his old teammate, former Navy Guard Fred Marlin, 26.

Jolly Roger keeps his passing arm limbered up by working out with Fred in the loading areas-and there's still talk that he'll give the pros a try when his tour...
...etching or carving out a cavity at the point where the arms and base leg of a fluidic circuit meet (see diagram), fluidics engineers can prevent the power stream from clinging to either wall. Instead, it flows down the center of the Y and divides equally between the two outlets. In this "anti-Coanda" configuration, the application of a control jet merely deflects the power stream by an amount proportional to the intensity of the jet. As the output of the two legs varies with the strength of the control jet, the fluidic circuit is once more something...
...that its social benefits have accumulated slowly over almost a century, with no particular impetus in the past three decades. He argues that it is wrong to describe Scandinavia as socialistic. In Sweden, which dominates the Scandinavian busi ness scene, less than 6% of industry is nationalized; the base on which most Scandinavian industry flourishes is still private enterprise...
Huge B-52's from the Wright Field SAC base in Ohio used to make practice bomb runs over one of the dormitories of near-by Antioch College. Plane after plane came roaring over the target dormitory, opened their empty bomb bays, and disappeared over the trees...
