...Knockouts. The Viet Cong had reason enough to work out in nip-ups rather than knockouts. According to Saigon, they sustained their heaviest losses of the war last month: 3,050 dead (by actual body count), an estimated 6,000 wounded, 4,130 defectors -about the equivalent of a full combat division. Clearly, the losses were hurting. Squawking to North Viet Nam, the Viet Cong requested enough volunteers to "step up the resistance of the war ten times."

Though U.S. hopes to close the rocket gap with the Soviet Union rode on the new Titan, the competition this time was not so much international as it was between solid rocket fuels and liquids...
...screaming teenagers never knew what happened to their Dee-Jay heroes in the ninth. Sparked by Richard ("King") Cotton, and Ooge Ujifusa, Harvard's nine batted around four times in the heaviest shelling this year east of Hanoi. Demoralized, the Good Guys popped up on three straight pitches in the in the bottom of the ninth and went down 23 to 2. Pre-game odds had made WMEX 7-5 favorites...
