...Problems. China's move to deploy a missile force under the command of its secrecy-shrouded Second Artillery Corps has come much later than outside experts originally expected. The Chinese successfully fired a nuclear-tipped missile with a range of up to 700 miles from their Shuangchengtzu test site in 1966, but after that, all they hit were problems-with guidance systems, with warhead miniaturization and with the Cultural Revolution. The program picked up again as the Cultural Revolution waned and as bloody battles with Soviet border forces began to break out along the Ussuri River in 1969. Last...
Later Mitchell will deploy a more powerful explosive device: a mortar containing four rocket grenades that will be fired after Apollo 14 returns home. Together with the shock waves that will be generated in the moon when Antares' abandoned ascent stage and Apollo 14's discarded S-4B rocket hit the lunar surface, tremors from the explosives should give seismologists many more clues to the structure and composition of the moon...

The rules cover four basic elements of battle: movement, missile fire (usually cannon, rifle or arrow), melee (close combat) and morale. Movements, for example, are executed closely to scale; players deploy their soldiers according to careful tape measurement. The result of artillery fire is determined by tables compiled from actual battle experience, and by the toss of dice, to add the element of unpredictability. When plastic soldiers clash hand to hand, another set of rules-plus the dice-decides the kill ratio...

In response, the Harvard police have established an extra detail for Radcliffe's Currier House and have gotten the Cambridge police to deploy an extra 5 to 15 men in the general Radcliffe area...
...Army's role in domestic politics. The judge who dismissed the ACLU suit claimed that Army maintenance of files was no different than maintenance of files by a newspaper. Frank Askin, arguing for the plaintiffs, observed that no newspaper also possessed weapons or other means of force to deploy against whoever was on file. The right of the Army to operate data banks for the surveillance of private citizens is a questionable one and ought to be challenged...
