...Soviets have a long way to go before they catch up with their American teachers. They lag far behind in perhaps the most important aspect of all: combat experience. Many Western experts refuse to rate the Soviet navy as a truly efficient seapower until its untested officers have been called upon to handle their complicated modern weaponry under combat conditions. Nor have the Russians yet mastered the sophisticated technique of refueling and replenishing their ships while under way, as U.S. ships do. Thus, they must spend great amounts of time in sheltered anchorages where they would be easy targets...
...Russians lag well behind the U.S. in submarine warfare. One reason is that their ships are slower (about 25 knots submerged), make more noise and cannot dive so deeply as U.S. subs, and are thus easier to detect. But the Soviets are continually trying to improve. They are using their big hydrographic fleet to learn more about the sea environment and to find hiding places in the canyons of the ocean for future gen erations of deep-diving submarines. The U.S. Navy tries to keep up with even the most minor changes in the development and deployment of Soviet subs...
Lest spirits lag, LaLanne (rhymes with pain) loads his arms with globs of suet, and grimaces: "This is what six pounds of fat looks like, girls! How would you like to carry that around with you all day? Well, that's just what you're doing if you're six pounds overweight." The best way to shed the suet? Out trots LaLanne's white German shepherd carrying the answer on a sign: IT'S GLAMOUR STRETCHER TIME! That cues a pitch for LaLanne's elastic exercise rope ($4), one of the 30 health...
Best of Both. Although salaries at state universities still lag behind those at the top private schools, the best public institutions can now get the best professors-a fact witnessed by academic recognition of Berkeley as a finer all-round school on the graduate level than Harvard. Massachusetts now pays full professors an average $17,300-and President John Lederle is an aggressive raider of private-university faculties. Among his recent catches: University of Chicago Mathematician Marshall Harvey Stone, N.Y.U. Botanist Oswald Tippo, Yale Physicist Robert Gluckstern and lohns Hopkins Astrophysicist John D. Strong, who brought...
Last week's price hikes are not likely to be the last. When demand picks up as expected, companies in many other areas almost certainly will raise prices to alleviate their profit squeeze. Moreover, labor leaders meeting in Florida last week were moaning over the lag in buying power brought on by the rising cost of living. They made it clear that they are looking for fat settlements in 1968, when contracts expire in such major industries as aluminum, aerospace, rail, telephone, shipping, coal mining, and-inevitably-steel...
