Building to Stay. If "the golf course" is a triumph of sweat and ingenuity, Cam Ranh Bay, abuilding 190 miles north of Saigon, is the manifesto of American engineering. Fifteen miles long, five miles wide, deep enough for any ocean vessel, rimmed by smooth, sun-blanched beaches, Cam Ranh Bay was probably the world's most underdeveloped great natural harbor.

Mining company payrolls and purchases will soon reach $194 million a year, and Minnesota expects the taconite industry...

Although he was forced out of a promising Air Force career at 45 by heart trouble he has lately been working a 100-hour week at M.I.T. and as chairman of Boston's Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority. He also sits on six company boards, intends to relinquish all of these seats to avoid conflicts of interest. So anxious is he to get into space that last week he had no sooner finished a speaking engagement in Los Angeles than he jetted to Washington overnight to attend his first Comsat board...
