...guerrilla operation of its own going in Laos. The main recruits: anti-Communist Meo tribesmen, a rugged breed who live only above 3,000 ft., raise opium and Husky-like white dogs. (Standing advice to U.S. pilots: "If you're shot down, find yourself a Meo and hang onto him for dear life. Those little guys will save your hide.") Last week U.S. guerrilla warfare experts, members of a new outfit called the Liaison Training and Advisory Group (LTAG), helicoptered into mountain valleys behind the enemy lines, where Meo tribesmen gathered as many as 400 strong to greet their...
...crust is only three miles thick-and for this reason the leaders of Project Mohole decided that the drilling should be done from a special ship floating in three miles of water. The ship cannot be held over the drill hole by anchor cables extending sideways. Such cables hang in curves and would yield too much to changes of pull from winds and currents. Much more promising is the active system of keeping the ship accurately over the hole by means of propellers pushing it back whenever it starts to drift away from the center of a pattern of tightly...

Afterward, men often look back upon such events and call them...
...entangled and interlaced figures as was the habit in those days. He left room in between to permit shadow to play upon the relief. No contemporary had his gift with drapery; each figure's clothes mold the body while the spiraling folds and pleats seem in places to hang as if the stone were gossamer, in other places to billow before the wind. According to Expert Zarnecki, the Gislebertus touch was copied by anonymous artists in other churches of the 12th century. But whatever his influence, his work at Autun is the greatest achievement in Romanesque...
