...Fort Benning tests, the U.S. demonstrated its own new .30-cal. T-25, a 7½-pound rifle with a 20-round clip which can be fired automatically or single shot, and theoretically is capable of firing 750 rounds per minute. Almost everybody but the British went away thinking the new U.S. rifle was the No. 1 choice for NATO.

...each trigger pull), weighing 8 Ibs. and equipped with an optical sight. On the firing range it seemed fairly impressive: it rattled off 84 rounds per minute, ripped steel helmets at 600 yards and punched through 46 inches of planking at 100 yards.

Young America, my foot! This jerk is right out of the Kremlin. LEWIS WILLIAMS Philadelphia...
...open-air festival courtyard raised special problems. Perpignan's tramontane, a strong, cold wind that sweeps along the Pyrenees to the Mediterranean, kept the orchestra grabbing for their music, finally made them clip the sheets to the racks with clothespins. The wind also played havoc with the acoustics, made the most desirable spots those on a chairless balcony above the platform. Astute music lovers sacrificed comfort, sat on the balcony floor, their feet dangling over the edge. At the second night's concert, the tramontane brought an unseasonable downpour that soaked the motionless audience to the skin before...
