...kills"-27 of them against the enemy. Uninterested in dogfighting, the North Vietnamese prefer to harass U.S. fighter-bombers on their runs over the North, attempting by feints, forays and cannon fire to make the Americans jettison their bombloads short of target or burn extra fuel in evasive maneuvers. Last week the U.S. set an aerial ambush to end that harassment-and in the process chopped Ho Chi Minh's air arm off at the elbow. Final tally: destruction of nine MIGs, representing nearly half of the North's best aircraft and one-tenth of its total...
...miles northwest of Hanoi. American intelligence officers had already noted that the North Vietnamese usually scrambled their fighters when U.S. planes approached this sensitive sector, but this time the 50 incoming planes were not cumbersome fighter-bombers. Instead, the Phantoms were flying "clean," without the bombs and extra fuel tanks that reduce maneuverability. To North Vietnamese radar, however, they looked just like fighter-bombers, and up came the MIGs to harass them. What resulted was the first pitched battle between the two best operational fighters in the world: the Communist MIG-21 "Fishbed" and the American F-4C Phantom...

The labor is usually done by Vietnamese stevedores; the men of the U.S. Army's 4th Transportation Command seldom lift anything heavier than a clipboard as they direct the flow of goods. But last week the Saigon Dock Workers Union went out on strike. To keep things moving off the ships, 800 U.S. soldiers stepped in to do the heaving and toting ordinarily done by three times that many Vietnamese. From cannon barrels...
...using an ion engine instead of chemical fuel for deep space acceleration, Stewart believes, scientists will be able to launch outer planet probes with rockets as small as the Atlas-Centaur, or send considerably larger payloads aloft with the Saturn 5. Combined with gravity assists from the planets, the ion engines should allow sophisticated unmanned probes to give man a close look at the outer planets, regions outside the solar system - and even the sun itself...
