Tobias reacted quickly to HUC members' questions saying, "By paying the student workers in the linen service $2.50 per hour and by having fewer subscribers than last year because of the poorer service of the depot system, out profits are lower than last year."

...still flickering inside. From a maze of interlocking tunnels and chambers, the troops toted out a huge cache of ammunition and at least 675 weapons, including Chinese-made recoilless rifles and brand-new Soviet AK-47 assault rifles. U.S. intelligence experts believe that the cache was a resupply depot for the 274th North Vietnamese Regiment, which has been operating in the area...
...away those simplest and most primitive of contraceptives for some time, but the network is hardly adequate to service a nation of more than 566,000 villages.

In a recent British Hovercraft demonstration, for example, a 41-ton machine tool on a hover pallet was easily pushed several feet by two men. By fixing a skirt around a 14-ton oil-storage tank at a military depot and pumping in air, hovercraft technicians were able to move the tank on a cushion of air across a road and a railroad line to a new location. A hover transporter, designed for Britain's Central Electricity Generating Board, has already been used to carry a 155-ton transformer...
