...Russians lag well behind the U.S. in submarine warfare. One reason is that their ships are slower (about 25 knots submerged), make more noise and cannot dive so deeply as U.S. subs, and are thus easier to detect. But the Soviets are continually trying to improve. They are using their big hydrographic fleet to learn more about the sea environment and to find hiding places in the canyons of the ocean for future gen erations of deep-diving submarines. The U.S. Navy tries to keep up with even the most minor changes in the development and deployment of Soviet subs...
Vietnamese Skyraiders rent the air with ferocious whines as they dive-bombed sections of the city, notably the Chinese quarter of Cholon, which was honeycombed with Viet Cong. The planes sent refugees scattering in all directions and plumes of smoke shooting into sunny skies that mocked the city's agony. In six of Saigon's nine districts, 24-hour curfews were still in effect, meaning that those districts harbored at least small bands of guerrillas still operating as units. Electricity and telephone service was sporadic, most restaurants and shops remained closed, and Saigon...
...worst fighting took place in Cholon, the Chinese sector and a traditional stronghold of anti-government feeling. As elsewhere in the city, where resistance was heavy in house-to-house fighting, the ARVN warned the civilians out of the area, then called in helicopters to strafe and Skyraiders to dive-bomb...
Grim Order. Hitler's Wehrmacht had already goose-stepped over almost all of Europe and more than 700 miles into Russia when his elite Sixth Army and panzer units were sent to take Stalingrad in August 1942. As squadrons of Luftwaffe dive bombers darkened the skies above, German troops surged into the city and, toward the north, broke through to the Volga. But Stalin had issued a grim order: "Not one step backward." With their backs to the river's edge, the Russians dug in determinedly. They fought the invaders in the streets, factories and cellars for each...
...fans who had come to see Bill Shrout and Bill Murphy show their championship forms were disappointed. Shrout swam the 200-yard freestyle, where he coasted to an easy victory, and did not reappear until the final relay. Murphy, last year's Eastern Seaboard three meter diving champion, won the one meter dive, however, was cancelled because Columbia does not have a three meter board. Marty Chalfie, the junior butterflyer, and Al Birch, the senior backstroker, were recovering from the flu and did not swim...
