...mass of non-leftist Japanese who simply don't want to pay the taxes to support an army. The result is that the Japanese military establishment today consists of 170,000 ground troops with World War II equipment, a 28,000-man navy with no ship heavier than 2,300 tons, and an air force that has 500 jet pilots but fewer than 400 jets...
...gasoline, the M-60 can travel 250 miles without refueling, as compared with the M-48's 160 miles. Because it uses aluminum fuel tanks, wheels and other parts, the 51-ton M-60 is actually lighter than the M-48, although the engine and fuel system are heavier. The Army has 360 of the new tanks on order (from Chrysler Corp.), and the 1961 budget provides for an additional...
Faces of Tragedy. Snow sees ignorance and disdain in both camps, but it is plain that he puts heavier blame on the traditional side.

...Last week Physiology Professor Charles C. Wunder, who conducts the experiments, announced that his centrifuged mice have conceived, delivered and raised nine litters at up to 2Gs (the gravitational force at the earth's surface is figured at 1G; at more than 1G. earth's creatures feel heavier; at less than 1G, lighter). Neither parents nor offspring were seriously bothered by the twice-normal weight of their bodies. "We weren't really studying breeding," said Dr. Wunder. "It just happened. For some reason, every spring there seems to be an upsurge in the centrifuge...
...visit began awkwardly. Charles de Gaulle, President of France, seemed nervous, almost defensive, when he stepped off the train in London's Victoria Station to be greeted by Queen Elizabeth. He was 20 years older and 25 pounds heavier than when he had arrived as an exile in 1940. But to many Britons, De Gaulle was still a symbol of icy authoritarianism, a man both proud and touchy who could satisfy his notions of grandeur only by pointlessly exploding A-bombs in the Sahara. As he and the Queen rode to Buckingham Palace in an open carriage, the London...
