...which the Communist army escaped destruction in southern China at the hands of Chiang Kais-hek's Kuomintang forces by fighting its way more than 6,000 miles to the safety of the Yenan redoubts. During World War II, Lin fought against the Japanese invaders in China, later helped defeat Nationalist troops in the civil war. Supposedly, he was wounded in Korea, perhaps by a U.S. bomb. If so, the injury may help explain his poor health and frequent absences from political life for medical treatment...
When U.S. infantrymen or their South Vietnamese allies need fast air support these days, the planes that scramble to help them may well carry red, gold, blue and white markings rather than the simple blue and white of the U.S. Air Force. The planes are those of the Viet Nam Air Force, and the results are usually similar whichever service answers the alarm. The Viet Nam air force, as well as the MIG-equipped North Vietnamese air arm, grew out of a nine-pilot unit that the French organized in 1951. After the 1954 Geneva agreements split the country, some...
...guys with rifles out here. Help, help." Patrolman Richard Worobec's desperate plea relayed over Detroit's police radio net brought 50 officers to his aid within minutes.

He seems to have brought that new-found relaxation to the recording sessions in Nashville. None of the songs were written down; he had them all in his head, and before recording, would go over them in his soft-spoken way with a hand-picked crew of Nashville sidemen, taking suggestions occasionally from them, or showing them how it should go by playing the guitar or piano. Once...
Governmental agencies have expressed interest in Lear's project; California wants to try out a steam-powered bus and police car. Lear also plans to enter a steamer in the Indianapolis 500, perhaps next year, to help get his message across to Detroit. In fact, there are signs that Detroit has got the message already. Ford has signed an agreement with Massachusetts' Thermo Electron Corp. for joint development of a small steam engine, and General Motors has contracted with Oakland's Besler Developments, Inc. to install a steam motor in a Chevrolet for testing...
