...question goes, is it art? James A. McCray, chairman of the art department at the University of Cal ifornia in Berkeley, describes derelict sculpture as "unusual - but legitimate in every sense of the word." Says one local artist, John McCracken, 29: "I'm amazed at the quantity of works that has arisen out of the nothingness that was there before." Most amazing is that they are there at all, unpretentious products of a leisurely society, which prove that some waste has taste. The mayor of Emeryville did not even know the sculptures were there until a few days...
...killing effect of a rifle bullet depends on the energy it carries, and that energy increases with the square of the bullet's speed. The bullets of the .223-cal. M-16 make up for their lighter weight by having a muzzle velocity of 3,250 ft. per sec.-significantly more speed than the 2,800 ft. per sec. of the .30-cal. M-14. The cartridges are lighter, and so is the rifle itself. An M-16 with 120 rounds of ammo weighs only 9 Ibs., no more than an empty M-14. Its bullets...

But then Harvard sliced out in front of Cal, and Vesper began to move up. At the 800-meter mark, with 1,200 meters to go, the Philadelphians drew even with Harvard, edged ahead-and never looked back. Eight tulip-shaped oars swinging as one, they...
California, which is the only crew with a reasonable chance to beat Harvard, has drawn less stiff opposition for the first heat. Cal's top rival should be the newly born Laconia "A" boat, an amalgam of the best rowers from several college crews in the east and midwest...
Call's armor broke through two of the Viet Cong lines and might well have carried the final one. But most of the tanks had to retire when they ran out of .50-cal. ammunition. The Viet Cong began moving around each flank, and the order came for government troops to disengage. Although the Reds remained in control of the field of battle, the cost had been catastrophic. The South Vietnamese lost only five dead and 29 wounded. Estimates of Viet Cong casualties were over 200. Though U.S. Viet Nam military chief Lieut. General William Westmoreland flew in especially...
