...Huge Avalanche. In the air, the U.S. offensive continued without abatement. Chief target was one land action that has not slowed down: the steady flow of supplies and men from the north. American airmen have long been frustrated by the fact that the F-105 and F-4B fighter-bombers used for strikes against North Viet Nam are too small to haul enough bombs to completely smash roads and bridges. Last week the U.S. sent winging from Guam to North Viet Nam just the planes for the job: eight-engine B-52 jet bombers, armed with 630 tons of bombs...

Their breathing apparatus-a system of tracheae that wander through the body like arteries of air-feeds oxygen to the organs up to 431 times as fast as lungs do. Their circulatory system frequently includes a mechanism that reverses blood flow when a clot obstructs the heart. A male moth's numerous "noses" are so keen that he can smell a female more than a mile away. And as for sex, insects hold the patents on mass reproduction. The East African queen termite lays 43,000 eggs a day, and in a single summer two common houseflies can multiply...

Peace Corps officials, however disagree. They are confident they can select out the "deadbeats" from a larger flow of volunteers. Neither would the volunteer spirit nor the quality of the applicants suffer. Draftees would still have to elect the Peace Corps over the army: the pay would be lower, the work harder, and the standards--with an increase in applicants--could be raised considerably. Moreover, the highly qualified body of college students, who now shun the Peace Corps for the greater security of graduate school, could now volunteer without fear of further obligation when they return to school...
