...kids-and their parents-has not been easy. An organizer in Newark had to go door to door and hold 25 public meetings to find enough adults to volunteer as Scout workers. In Philadelphia, confronted by parental apathy, an organizer learned that neighborhood youths had been swiping tools off Bell Telephone trucks. He staked out the company garage, caught several of them in the act, and made them the nucleus of a new troop...
...Paddies. Considering the exploits of the 1,800 copters already in Viet Nam, it is no wonder. Such choppers as Bell's ubiquitous UH-1B Huey and Vertol's 44-passenger Chinook are able not only to harry the elusive enemy with rocket and strafing attacks but to carry foot soldiers into battle at 150 m.p.h., eliminating bone-wearying marches through flooded paddies and jungles. Four $2,000,000 Sikorsky CH54A Skycranes, which look gawky but can haul 87 men or a field hospital under their bellies, have so far retrieved 100 downed aircraft-$37 million worth...
...effect with a cumbersome complex of knuckles and joints so as to free the rotor from its housing. This month Hughes Tool will begin delivering its turbine-powered Army OH-6A light observation helicopter, which does away with the heavy knuckles. Even more sophisticated models are on the way. Bell's armor-plated AH-1G next year will give the Army its first helicopter designed as an aerial artillery platform. Hughes, aiming at a future 110-passenger intercity transport, built its experimental XV-9A hot-cycle model, which is powered by hot gases shooting out of rotor-tip vents...
...Green-Pea Run. Manufacturers, of course, are as delighted as the Pentagon with the improving technology of military helicopters. This year Fairchild-Hiller, Bell and Hughes will bring out utility and executive models based on military designs. Sikorsky sees a big civilian market for its Skycranes, and the Department of Housing and Urban Development has just put up $490,000 to test whether the Crane can fly a buslike pod of 40 passengers between airports and downtown-at costs competitive with ground travel...
...have lived under a glass bell," says shy old Poet Eugenic Montale. Italy's intellectuals have long since discovered that by putting an ear to the bell they can hear a harsh recondite music of commanding originality. Foreigners have been less fortunate. At 69, Montale has only recently made the cultural scene in France and Britain, and in the U.S. his poetry is virtually unknown. Transatlantic ignorance is now relieved by the first volume of Montale in translation to appear in the U.S. With quiet force the book discloses what the poetry public has been missing: a European writer...
