...already seriously hurt many industries and localities. Aircraft companies alone abolished nearly 50,000 jobs between 1962 and 1964, largely as a result of declining military demand. In small communities such as Port Clinton, Ohio (pop. 7,000), which stands to lose 2,000 jobs when the Erie Army Depot closes next year, such shifts can be ruinous. The committee therefore urged continued research and government help to soften the impact of changing military technology. This, rather than any likelihood of widespread unemployment as a result of disarmament, is the Administration's principal cutback worry...
...Force F-105 fighter-bombers for the first time struck north of the "Hanoi line." In five separate raids, they hit a major military base and ammunition depot at Sonla, 125 miles northwest of Hanoi and only 80 miles from the Red China border. Result: more than 70 buildings destroyed, nearly 50 others damaged. Other targets were Ban Nuoc Chieu, 80 miles northwest of Hanoi, and Nasan, 115 miles northwest of the capital, where 18 attacking planes blasted airfield runways, destroyed two buildings and fired a big aircraft fuel storage tank. At the same time, U.S. aircraft continued their daily...

They manage to subdue their Nazi guards (negligible opposition), don Nazi uniforms (good fit), and bluff or blast their way through Florence, Verona, Milan, and a burning fuel depot into Switzerland. A train pursued by troops and planes across enemy terrain can be counted on to boil over with excitement from time to time, and one battle scene filmed at dizzying altitudes in the Italian Alps brings the action to a peak...
Eternal significance has never been the forte of collegiate nostalgia, and 1965 will find little in its freshman year that altered the world--or even the College. The HSA Linen Depot System was the Class' first controversy, but '65 remained oblivious to sophisticated CRIMSON and upperclass attempts to stir discontent. They trekked to their depots, found their packages properly "full of sheets," and went off happily...
Hunt's biggest moment came two weeks ago, when he led a "skunk hunt" for a suspected Viet Cong supply depot about 60 miles northwest of Saigon. "We were lucky," says Hunt. "One of our guys just happened to come in at a proper angle, and he caught a glimpse of something under the trees. He drew fire, so we all went to have a look." It was quite a look: the area was alive with Viet Cong. Hunt and his outfit marked the targets with smoke rockets and called in Vietnamese and American planes, which destroyed 21 Viet...
