...signal picked up, determines just what that particular radar is used for. The experts can tell whether the radar under observation is meant to warn of possible threats from an enemy, whether it is intended to guide defensive surface-to-air missiles, or whether it is designed to control a network of offensive nuclear weapons. The aircraft's antennas, tuned to a wide range of radio frequencies used in military communications, can overhear conversations between major command posts 200 miles away and thus plot troop movements and combat readiness. Analysis of EC-121 data can reveal how much traffic...
...Last year 53,357 U.S. servicemen in trouble with their superiors, their families or their consciences bid farewell to arms, the highest number since the Korean conflict. Although most of those initially carried on the books as deserters (absent without leave for over 30 days) eventually "returned to military control," more than 200 are now in Sweden, while others have found refuge in France, The Netherlands and Canada. Many indicate that they would return to the U.S. if amnesty were granted. They recognize that this is unlikely. Edwin Arnett, one deserter who returned, drew a four-year sentence...
Gondola Cars. The Ho Chi Minh Trail complex through eastern Laos, an area firmly in North Vietnamese and Communist Pathet Lao control, remains the other major supply route. Intelligence estimates that 7,000 to 10,000 North Vietnamese troops monthly filter south.

The aim of the course was to plant "a growing conviction on the part of the person that he can change, that he can take control and direct his life." At brainstorming sessions-a Western invention that the Indian businessmen took to with great delight-they courted the notion, almost heretical in Indian commerce, that ideas can be traded, like commodities, to the benefit of all. They were required to write their own epitaphs-a statement...
...other aids for quitters enjoy brisk sales. "Withdrawal clinics" have sprung up in several cities; they urge people to munch popcorn instead of smoking, emphasize the positive effects of quitting. Paul Newman and his wife Joanne Woodward are among the recent graduates of Sunset Boulevard's "Smoking Control Center," one of several $125 per course habit-breaking outfits that have opened lately in Los Angeles. Chicago's Mayor Richard Daley recently mailed circulars urging 36,000 city employees to attend similar clinics. Despite these efforts, the Department of Health, Education and Welfare estimates that only...
