...Infantry Georg Thomas, military chief of the German Office of Production related: "Bombing alone could not have defeated Germany, but without bombing the war would have lasted for years longer." And Field Marshal Albert Kesselring, von Rundstedt's successor as Commander-in-Chief of the West, admitted that "Dive bombing and terror attacks on civilians, combined with the heavy bombing, proved our undoing...

...last week a T-28 fighter-bomber flown by a U.S. Air Force captain and his Vietnamese crewman crashed on a dive-bombing run southwest of Danang, near the Laotian border. When two UH-34 Marine helicopters, carrying a search-and-rescue party, fluttered into the guerrilla-infested area, both choppers crashed. The craft lay 1,000 yds. apart, one in a river, the other across a ridge in the jungle; whether they were shot down was not clear. Braving heavy guerrilla fire that injured three more marines and killed another Vietnamese crewman, more rescuers reached the scene, found...
...Time to Dive. And not all flares, says Van Allen, shoot particles to the earth. They must be near the western edge of the sun or just beyond it. The particles do not move in straight lines like the beam of a searchlight. Affected by the sun's magnetism they move in complicated curves and may hit a spacecraft from many directions. For this reason, says Van Allen, a spacecraft cannot be sheltered by simply putting an umbrellalike shield between...

The prudent Dr. Dodson-Prince wishes that the U.S. moon push could be postponed until the next period of solar quiet, which will start around...
...seriously searched for at so great a depth. But for weeks a strange fleet of floating scientific laboratories has been cruising the choppy waters 220 miles east of Cape Cod, and this week the weirdest craft of all is being towed into range. The bathyscaphe Trieste is preparing to dive toward the spot that undersea snapshots have tentatively marked as Thresher's grave...
