...cameras, infra-red detectors, special radar, and secret electronic devices that can jam enemy radar. With special heat-sensor equipment, they can pinpoint tiny cooking fires that betray the presence of the Viet Cong. "We can't kill them all, but we can make sure Charlie has to eat cold rice," says an Air Force targeting officer. With powerful 4,500,000-candle-power flash cartridges, Recce planes can turn night into day to photograph enemy convoys sneaking down the Ho Chi Minh trail. "The object is to make Charlie walk," says another targeter. "I'd like...

Next autumn, for example, Linda ("Penny") Kugler, a junior at Pitzer, will study U.S. colonial history at Harvey Mudd, American literature at Claremont Men's College, economics at Pomona.

...Kresge's farm-bred frugality and his stern Methodist morality. He once donated $500,000 to the Anti-Saloon League, said that "I never gave a dime to any church the pastor of which uses tobacco." Kresge men and women, mindful of old S. S. dictums, still eat separately in company cafeterias, habitually snap off lights when leaving washrooms-although managers complain that switches are wearing out.
