Mrs. Marian Keesling, of Gainesville, Fla., reports that Calley clothed and fed a little Vietnamese girl; one day he returned to find the child's house bombed and the girl missing. "He was pretty broken up about the child," says Mrs. Keesling...

...sheer luck. Its Egyptian pilot bailed out after the plane was hit over the Giddi Pass in Sinai. The Sukhoi then made an unbelievably smooth belly landing in the soft, flat sand. Trucked away under camouflage nets, it was quickly made flightworthy. Israeli pilots who have flown it find that the Sukhoi reaches a Mach 1.6 speed, climbs at the rate of 23,500 ft. per min. and can carry 3.5 tons of ordnance...
