Cleveland-born Kitaj is largely self-taught. He began shipping out on cargo vessels at age 17, read voraciously during long voyages, and his art reflects his random, eclectic learning. As consummate technique, Kitaj's paintings bear the skill of a man who stayed ashore long enough to spend five years variously at Manhattan's Cooper Union, Vienna's Academy of Fine Art, Oxford University's Ruskin School of Drawing and London's Royal College of Art. He can coalesce flat forms with rounded ones, switch from silhouette to transparency with deft sleights of brush...
Though the XC-142A's performance resembles that of a fast-flying helicopter, the resemblance ends there. It is the largest plane of its type in the world, can carry 32 combat troops or four tons of cargo. The two that were flown last week are the first of five to be delivered to the Air Force this year at a cost of more than $100 million. "With an aircraft like this," said LTV Executive Vice President Paul Thayer, as he talked of the brush-fire wars the plane might be used for, "a clearing in a forest performs...
Procurement of the controversial F-111 fighter-bomber (formerly the TFX) has been Pentagon-approved, and the prototype has taken to the air far ahead of schedule in highly successful tests. Money for developing a cargo plane (the C-5A) able to airlift 750 men has been approved. New nuclear surface ships may well be okayed by McNamara as part of his doctrine of flexibility...
...Brisbane harbor last week sailed the coastal tanker Millers McArthur, carrying a cargo of crude oil from the fields at Moonie, Queensland, to a refinery in Kwinana, Western Australia. The tanker's long coastal voyage earned it a special distinction: it was the first Australian ship ever to carry Australian oil. Its journey also marked the high point in a one-man crusade to save Australia's $118 million coal industry from an onslaught by foreign oil companies, which have been saturating the market with vast quantities of low-cost, waste-product fuel oil from their Australian refineries...
...about two megatons; 2) an air-launched short-range attack missile (SRAM) with a 150-mile capability, which plugs the gap between the ten-mile Bull-Pup and the 600-mi'e Hound Dog, and will increase the effectiveness of present bombers: 3) the huge C-5A cargo aircraft capable of carrying 750 soldiers and large, fast cargo ships propelled by gas turbine engines for quicker deployment of heavy military equipment; 4) large-sca'e procurement of the controversial swept-wing F-lll (formerly TFX) fighterbombers. In purposely vague terms Johnson also forecast "remarkable new payloads for strategic...
