...defense chiefs in Brussels authorized the creation of a flotilla of destroyers that will be on constant call to speed to any crisis in the Atlantic area. And the ministers finally laid to rest the old doctrine of immediate massive nuclear retaliation in case of a Soviet ground attack. They officially adopted a strategy that has actually been the policy of NATO field commanders since it was first propounded in 1962 by Defense Secretary Robert
...inspect a Viet Nam resettlement camp, Illinois G.O.P. Senator Charles Percy, 48, decided on impulse to take a look at Dak Son, the Montagnard village recently destroyed by the Viet Cong in the war's worst atrocity. The Senator and a party of four hopped to the ground in Dak Son, leaving Loraine Percy in the chopper, and were met by a welcoming barrage of mortar and small-arms fire from surrounding V.C.s. "I can assure you I have never gotten closer to the ground," said Percy, who was pinned down for 15 minutes until four U.S. Army copters...
What is making Snowmass take off is the reputation of Bill Janss, who with his brother Edwin bought Sun Valley from the Union Pacific in 1964, turned it around from a has-been resort to a year-round success and favorite Christmas camping ground for the Kennedy clan.

...Army's need developed out of the fact that low-flying, thin-skinned and slow-moving helicopters are often clay pigeons to ground-based enemy sharpshooters and are virtually impossible to protect with jet or conventional prop planes. In demonstrating how it could do the job, Lockheed's Cheyenne rolled down the runway at 50 m.p.h., stopped, reversed direction, then did a series of intricate ground maneuvers before lifting itself 10 ft. aloft and hovering in that position. Extending and retracting its landing gear, the craft climbed to 30 ft. and, in helicopter fashion, backed...
Last June, Reischauer started work on Beyond Vietnam. Fearing above all that the frustrations of Vietnam might inspire a right wing isolationist reaction in this country, Reischauer has tried to strike a middle ground between isolation and escalation. Urging the government to seek negotiations rather than a military victory, he argued that further bombing of the North could do little beyond creating a second guerrilla theater. On the other hand, he maintains in his book, if we pull out immediately "in our eagerness to save American lives and stop the carnage, we might help produce such instability in Asia...
