Their targets are mundane: trucks, trains, barges, bridges and an occasional hidden oil dump. One day last week, the Navy flyers who cover the northern half of the Panhandle spent most of their time working over a single locomotive and 40 boxcars. A-4 Skyhawks found the train in the morning, destroyed three boxcars, damaged 22 others, and reported a large secondary explosion that meant it was carrying ammunition or oil. About an hour later, more Skyhawks hit it with Bullpup missiles and bombs, knocked out the locomotive and four more freight cars, turned the track in front...
...looks toward the time when speculative fever will subside. "The market will stop going down," he says, "when people stop trying to make huge profits in short periods of time." Lewis Schellbach, executive vice president of Standard & Poor's, thinks that some investors are worried enough to dump their stocks. "This decline has gone so far that we really need a selling climax," he says. Said James Hart, a Lehman Bros, partner: "For the near future, the trend is down. But how far, and for how much longer, is in the realm of conjecture." Among stock watchers he would...
Once the fun was discovered, no one could have enough. The next day the foam-making apparatus was driven over to the town dump near Springs, another artists' outpost, where the suds spewed forth once again so that all the children could have a good wallow.

...because of the recent passage of a 3% sales tax, the first such tax in Idaho since the 1930s. And he faced strong opposition from Idaho's well-entrenched conservatives, who resented his lackluster support of Barry Goldwater in 1964 and his leadership of the successful fight to dump Goldwaterite Dean Burch as national committee chairman and install moderate Ray Bliss in his place. Nor did his urging that the G.O.P. repudiate the John Birch Society go over well...
...inch telephone wire strung across a jungle clearing can betray the location of an enemy field-communications system; a jungle trail that suddenly peters out can pinpoint the entrance to a labyrinth of V.C. tunnels; a road that goes nowhere can lead the photo interpreters to a hidden oil dump. It requires infinite patience. "A road ends at a river where the ferryboat has been sunk by bombing," says Captain John Irwin, a Recce Tech officer. "Where is the new ferryboat? We study the riverbank and find a bush that wasn't there a week ago. Bushes...
