Even as Thieu spoke, 45 American helicopters were flapping into Laos for what he called a "new-type operation": a quick raid by ARVN Hac Bao (Black Panther) commandos about five miles across the border into the Communist depot known as Base Area 611. During their 24 hours on the ground, the Panthers killed just one North Vietnamese and found little in the way of enemy supplies. Their main mission seemed to be to let Hanoi know that its Laotian supply lines would never again be safe and to support Thieu's claim that Lam Son was "still going...
...import foreign crude and residual oil. Clean Fuels wants to build-but not operate -a $150 million oil-desulfurization plant at the head of glorious Penobscot Bay. The proposed site: the little town of Searsport (pop. 1,800), a drab, faded conglomeration of weather-beaten brick buildings, a railroad depot, an oil tank farm and a Purina Dog Chow silo.

He considers himself something of a trucking consultant and has even endowed a chair at the University of Miami for transportation studies -partly to ease his own regret at not having had a college education. The Ryder corporation operates a 300-depot maintenance system that services other fleet owners as well as its own trucks, and has an engineering consulting division that advises truck buyers on their design needs and markets its own computer system. Last week Ryder and a consortium of Miami warehousemen began operating a storage-control system that keeps...
