...game with unskilled Tufts may cloud matters even further. Harvard appeared all strngth as it obliterated the Jumbos 9-0 in last year's opener, and it took the next two games, losses to Amherst and Williams, to reveal the weaknesses present...
Flying through cloud-laden skies that signaled the approaching monsoons, Navy attack planes from the carriers Oriskany and Coral Sea rained bombs and missiles for the first time on the port of Cam Pha, which is only 46 miles northeast of Haiphong and serves as its auxiliary port. Under congressional pressure to hit North Viet Nam harder, President Johnson gave the go-ahead to bomb Cam Pha when no ships were at the piers, thus seeking to avoid hitting any Russian vessels. After Navy scouts found the right moment, the raiders demolished Cam Pha's wharves, badly damaged...
Nook Talk. Inside, the center is splen-diferously outfitted, from the enclosed semicircular staircase leading up from its parking lot to the cloud-physics laboratory on the roof. The main floor includes a dining terrace and an internal courtyard with a reflecting pool. On other floors are networks of offices and labs, with instruments and a computer to assemble and analyze data collected on N.C.A.R. field trips and at observation stations all over the world...

Some scientists have been heard to gripe that there is not enough lab space, but by and large the vote is strongly affirmative. Says J. Doyne Sartor, program scientist in cloud physics: "This building has a personality." Adds Electronics Engineer Raymond Chu: "Scientists or engineers will never be completely satisfied with any building. But this one is very exciting architecture...
Computerized Flames. The scientists are also learning more about the habits of nature's arsonist, the lightning stroke. Their research tools include sensors for detecting electric-field charges, photoelectric devices for measuring luminosity, photographs and recordings of thunder. From studies of some 3,000 cloud-to-ground lightning flashes, two apparent patterns emerged: the number of lightning discharges from storm clouds seeded with silver iodide was from 32% to 38% less than from unseeded storms. One type of discharge, which lingers on the ground for a relatively long period of time (about one-fifth of a second)-appeared...
