JUDGING from the mounting costs of political campaigns, one might conclude that democracy, as practiced in the U.S., is fast becoming a millionaire's game. Certainly H. John Heinz III, great-grandson of the founder of H.J. Heinz Co., would not be Pennsylvania's Congressman from the 18th District today were he not the inheritor of 57 varieties of fame and revenue. But Heinz's constituents, from suburbanites to mill workers, seem so happy with his performance that they are expected to return him to office with a stunning margin...

But Project Director Heinz Kasemir and his fellow scientists think that the risks are worth taking. Lightning suppression could be used to help prevent fatalities and forest fires, and might even benefit the space program. NASA could eventually employ suppression techniques at storm-prone Cape Kennedy, where lightning bolts have occasionally hit giant Saturn rockets on their pads and once, during a launch, knocked out the electrical system of Apollo 12, threatening...
...Communist bloc ships that had been steaming through the South China Sea toward North Viet Nam changed course. Three of them picked their way to anchorage in Hong Kong's crowded Victoria Harbor: Gotze Deltchev, flying the Bulgarian flag, and the East German freighters Heinz Kapelle and Gera, their main decks crowded with trucks that were to have been unloaded at Haiphong. When would the ships get under way again? Shrugged one East German seaman: "Not until the American offensive ends...
