...When Pete was a tyke, basketball was how the day started and ended. From the time he was seven, he spent hours out in the backyard shooting baskets with his father, and listening to lectures on the niceties of finger control, form, stance, depth perception. By the time he finished Raleigh's Needham Broughton High School, Pete was already averaging 32 points a game and displaying an almost total dedication to the sport. They still talk about the time he hobbled around the floor with a plaster cast on a badly sprained ankle-and still scored 42 points...
...Perry-Link Deep Diver, a 22-ft., 8¼-ton submersible that can operate at a depth of 1,350 ft. for as long as twelve hours, moving up, down, forward, backward and sideways. It has a forward pilot's compartment and a separately pressured divers' compartment that enables it to discharge and pick up divers far below the water's surface. When pressure in the divers' compartment has been built up to equal the water pressure outside, a hatch drops open, enabling the divers to depart. When they come back, they can eat and rest...
...Lockheed's Deep Quest is the most sophisticated of the new submersibles, combining Aluminaut's size and ability to descend to great depths with Deep Diver's capability of discharging and retrieving underwater divers. The 40-ft., 50-ton craft can operate at a depth of 8,000 ft. with a crew of four and is designed to carry a Cachalot-type chamber that can accommodate four additional divers in its stern compartment. It uses spacecraftlike water-jet thrusters to hover in place and can tilt itself some 30° fore and aft and 10° sideways...
...impressive showing of team depth, the Crimson's third line played inspired hockey to account for three of the eight scores, and the second line produced a superior defensive effort to repeatedly stall the Redmen attack. Third unit center Steve Barker accounted for two goals, and right wing Ford Fraker tipped in a single tally. Led by left wing Paul Sweeney's especially strong puck grabbing, the second line managed to shut out Dartmouth completely while...
...that is used many times, to solve a particular situation. It is used often when Vietcong have U.S. troops pinned down (usually in ambush). We have no way of knocking out these bunkers without sustaining or risking sustaining heavy losses. Artillery cannot penetrate the earthen cover to the necessary depth and neither many times can bombs. Napalm can put "Charlie" out of action not by burning but by suffocation as the Napalm burning on the surface uses up available Oxygen in the tunnels...
