...different form of combat. "Man, that's rough flying," said Navy Lieut. Commander Dan Mayers, 32, whose helicopter wing returned recently from Viet Nam. "It's not quite what we're used to." Battling wing ice and frozen gas lines instead of flak, pilots flew more than 1,000 mercy sorties. When an Air Force C-141 dropped 1,300 gal. of fuel oil and a team of paracommandos on Arizona's Tuba City (pop. 2,000), schoolchildren braved 10°-below-zero temperatures-to get the parachutists' autographs...

Mariners 2 and 5 flew past Venus, returning vast quantities of information about the planet's atmosphere, temperature and thermal and magnetic properties. Mariner 4 successfully transmitted pictures of the Martian surface and continued to operate for more than three years, sending information from distances as great as 200 million miles as it went on into orbit around the sun. Yet all this was accomplished, Van Allen points...
...Lieut. Colonel Alphonse ("the Paratrooper") Alley, 37, popular chief of staff, as President. Soglo sought asylum in the French embassy, where visitors reported that he was "quite depressed." He will probably want to wait at least until next Christmas before organizing any resistance. At week's end, he flew to Paris, where he will join three ex-Presidents of Dahomey, all coup victims who are now living nicely in the city's fashionable arrondissements...
