There is probably no more awesome weapon in use in Viet Nam today than the U.S. Air Force's high-flying B-52 Stratofortress. From the Demilitarized Zone to the Ca Mau Peninsula, the land shows countless scars-spots that look as if a giant rake had swept over them, long parallel lines of deep craters walking across the plains and over the mountains.

U.S. Marine and ARVN troopers, sweeping northeast of the DMZ Marine supply base of Dong Ha, found a battalion...

The Penn Central will operate on 40,000 miles of track in 14 states and two Ca nadian provinces. It will run 4,200 locomotives, 195,000 freight cars, and 4,937 passenger cars. It will also be the nation's largest private landlord, with real estate holdings that include Park Avenue hotels and a Pittsburgh office building-apartment complex, a 25% share...
