...Communist infiltration route from Cambodia last week when its men stopped to rest. Suddenly, the jungle erupted in mortar explosions and gunfire as the company ran into an ambush set by a North Vietnamese battalion. Rising to a half-crouch to direct the defense, the company commander took a bullet under his left eye and fell dead. Within minutes, all the company's officers had been either killed or wounded, many by snipers lashed in tall trees to steady their aim. Though nearly half the U.S. force was killed or wounded in the three-hour battle, they held...
Marcus says he first became interested in the photographs "three or four days" after the assassination. He followed closely as the newspapers and the government slowly shifted from entrance wound to exit wound and to the remarkable "single-bullet" theory...
...simple, perhaps deceptively so. The first of his "images"--discovered by a man named David Lifton from Los Angeles--are in a picture of the legendary grassy knoll. A Dallas woman who no longer lists her telephone number -- Mary Anne Moorman -- took the photograph moments after the fatal bullet struck President Kennedy. Lifton and Marcus observed a total of five possible human images behind the wall in the background, including two (designated nos. 2 and 5) in which one can see a suggestion of a gun. Although the other three images are more questionable, Marcus is certain both...
Reason to Hail, in his seventh tough stakes in two months, will try hard, as always, and will wind up fourth, as always. If he were a person he would go on strike. Nehoc's Bullet's only claim to fame is that he is Damascus's half-brother. Proviso's record is intriguingly mediocre. Blasting Charge and Gaylord's Feather ran one, two in a nice route on the grass against older horses last week, but that hardly qualifies them to win the country's toughest three-year-old race...
...tests in Nevada, U.S. weapons scientists are confident that they have finally conceived an anti-ballistic missile (ABM) system that can be effective. Sidestepping the complex problem of directly intercepting an attacking 17,000-m.p.h. intercontinental ballistic missile with a defensive missile -a feat equivalent to hitting a flying bullet with another bullet-they have designed a system that will use great bursts of X rays from exploding nuclear warheads to destroy enemy missiles at a distance...
