...moonless night into the camp's very midst to sow confusion. Then, from north and south, the Communists charged in force. The big U.S. 155-mm. guns were lowered to fire pointblank, and cooks and headquarters clerks joined the gun crews in manning the defense. U.S. planes, directed by Sergeant Mark Ridley of San Antonio, soon swept in to blast the attackers. When the attack began, Ridley and his squad found themselves out on patrol a quarter of a mile from the camp and with a direct view of the enemy's principal rallying point. Time and again...
...preview of how the U.S. city's air transportation facilities will be organized in the future was given last week with the announcement that New York City is planning two new, stamp-size, in-city landing facilities. Already Manhattan provides a direct helicopter service from atop the Pan Am building that hurdles the traffic on the way to the major airports; and it boasts a scattering of private copter pads, including one for the two-state Port Authority. Mayor John Lindsay uses the fire department's East River pier or the lawn of his official residence at Gracie...
More important in the long run will be the use of the in-city landing facilities for direct transportation to similar facilities in other cities, including the prospect of direct hops between Manhattan and the Washington, D.C. Mall or Boston's new Government Center. An ideal future workhorse for such short flights is now being developed: Lockheed's CL 1026, a commercial version of the U.S. Army's rigid-rotor Cheyenne. A compound craft with a speed of 230 m.p.h. and range of 250 miles, the CL 1026 combines helicopter rotors for vertical landings and take-offs...

However, the very fact that these people are no longer students seriously limits their perspective. It is students who are in direct contact with the pressures (and the immediate effects of these pressures) of the educational process. The "shortrun" perspective, which many people bemoan as limiting, is a necessary and important part of any complete analysis. It is not included now, and only students can supply it. Thus, the difference in competence is compensated for by the potential student contribution...

Loeb University Professor, said yesterday that in order to convict the five, the government must prove that it was their specific intention to obstruct the operations of selective service and that this intention was carried out by direct solicitation and incitement rather than by just general public discussion...
