...from the Red China border. Result: more than 70 buildings destroyed, nearly 50 others damaged. Other targets were Ban Nuoc Chieu, 80 miles northwest of Hanoi, and Nasan, 115 miles northwest of the capital, where 18 attacking planes blasted airfield runways, destroyed two buildings and fired a big aircraft fuel storage tank. At the same time, U.S. aircraft continued their daily raids against North Viet Nam below Hanoi, where they are beginning to run out of targets. The toll: one railroad bridge, three highway bridges, five barges, one coastal lighter, one ferryboat...
...launch was a solid success - a good, clean lift-off galvanized by 2.4 million Ibs. of thrust from twin solid-fuel boosters. The Titan IIIC resembled three huge bullet-nosed flashlights standing side by side. The 127-ft. center rocket was a souped-up version of the liquid-fueled Titan II that boosted Gemini astronauts on two successful shots. Strapped on to each side were two 85-ft. rockets, each one containing five 39-ton solid-fuel segments stacked one on top of the other. Within three-tenths of a second of ignition, the two solid-fuel boosters reached their...
...infantry. After a day of freedom, the men are recaptured by Germans and packed into a freight train bound for the fatherland. They manage to subdue their Nazi guards (negligible opposition), don Nazi uniforms (good fit), and bluff or blast their way through Florence, Verona, Milan, and a burning fuel depot into Switzerland. A train pursued by troops and planes across enemy terrain can be counted on to boil over with excitement from time to time, and one battle scene filmed at dizzying altitudes in the Italian Alps brings the action to a peak...
...plants, fungi are rootless and leafless, consist of tiny threads (hyphae) tangled in a mass (mycelium) that can grow as much as half a mile in 24 hours. Lacking chlorophyll, fungi cannot make their own food, batten instead on fabric, fur, fat, paint, plants, plastics, skeletons, cold cream, jet fuel and people. One species can survive only on the left hind leg of a water beetle. Most fungi reproduce by the sexual union of two different spores, sometimes drop hundreds 'of millions of spores in three or four days. Most of them are important biochemical brokers; some are essential...
White confessed that during his "extravehicular activity," his 25-ft. tether gave him considerable trouble, kept tugging him toward the very spot he had been warned to avoid-the spacecraft's adapter section. There, two-foot-long plumes of burning fuel shot out from the thruster rockets fired by McDivitt to stabilize the capsule, and White at times drifted as near as five or six feet above them...
