...glow with unearthly allure as the green years recede, the proprietors of Leavitt & Peirce, a Cambridge (Mass.) tobacco hall and onetime pool hall, invited 31 old Harvard graduates to psalm their shop's 75th anniversary. Done up in a handsome volume that is illustrated by snapshots of mustached crewmen, football mastodons of the 1880s, and a sinful tintype of a 19th century Cambridge sybarite puffing a hookah, the sentimental replies set up a blue haze of reminiscence...
Like storybook pirates, East German Communists croaked happily over an unexpected treasure when seven U.S. Army artillery officers and two helicopter crewmen strayed off course last month and landed their whirlybird in Soviet-occupied territory. The East Germans, at Russia's prodding, held the nine men prisoner and demanded a high ransom: diplomatic recognition of the East German satellite by the U.S. The U.S. refused to deal, negotiated patiently but fruitlessly at the military level. Finally, the U.S. empowered the American Red Cross to step into the case. Last week, after a month of negotiation with the Communists...
When spaceships start using nuclear power, they will have to take off from deserts with no unsheltered humans for miles around. Only the crewmen in their cabins will be fully shielded. As the ship departs for space it will blast a considerable area with gamma rays, neutrons and radioactive exhaust, and a new, unpoisoned site may have to be found for the next takeoff. But designers of nuclear rockets do not worry much about this sort of thing. In Nucleonics, a group of experts tell about current projects to soar into space by atom power...
...York! Chicago!" Major Lyles and his three remaining crewmen leaped out of the burning plane, were soon rounded up by Soviet troops. But the five who had bailed out safely had a far rougher time. Hundreds of copper-skinned Armenian peasants swarmed around Relief Pilot Colonel Dale Brannon, Copilots Major Robert Crans and Major Bennie Shupe, first curiously, then aggressively hostile. The peasants marched them off toward a village, began slapping, kicking, hitting them, dug into their pockets for souvenirs as they loaded them into cars and trucks. The truck carrying Major Shupe stopped beside a telephone pole. One peasant...
East Germany. Seven U.S. Army artillery officers and two Army helicopter crewmen, kidnaped by the Russians and the East German satellite state when their helicopter came down in East Germany June 7, were produced by the Communists for a surprise press conference in Dresden. On hand at the conference: a crowd of Communist newsmen and one lone Westerner, Associated Press Reporter Seymour Topping (see PRESS). Presumably the Communists hoped that by showing off U.S. servicemen in captivity they could prod the U.S. public into prodding the U.S. Government to pay a high soldiers' ransom. The ransom, openly demanded through...
