...stopped his troops from looting the city, forbade them to loiter on the streets, even ordered Bukavu's bartenders not to serve them alcohol. He issued a stern warning to Bukavu's provincial president that local police brutality must end, personally ransacked a block of houses in which several murderous cops were thought to be hiding. Riding in an open Jeep, he inspected nearby communities, stopping long enough to organize temporary local governments in each. "I intend to maintain law and order," said Mulamba. It was a forlorn intention in the present Congo...
...totally unschooled in the ways of segregation would find nothing extraordinary on the surface of Chestertown's daily business life. Both Negroes and whites do their serious shopping on the town's main street and neither race is confined to the "inside lane." Negroes loiter in white areas, and when together no one seems to wonder on whose grond they stand. If Negroes eat at the same crowded restaurant or get their haircuts in one of two tightly packed barbershops, well, they might prefer in that...

Colonel Thum gets each firing schedule in advance and deploys his forces accordingly.

Sometimes they drop a flare to mark the impact. Sometimes the helicopters land and pick up small items, but fallen missiles are dangerous. Each carries a "destruct" charge to blow it to bits in case it heads for a place where it can do damage. Colonel Thum's recovery...
...models have been tested only in wind tunnels, but they already look singularly promising. A plane built in this manner should be able to take off slowly after a short run, then fold its wings to fight at supersonic velocity. In addition, it will be able to loiter for long periods at slow, fuel-saving speed before accelerating into action. It will also be able to fold its wings and fly extremely fast just above the ground, where air resistance is high but where enemy radars cannot find it. If it lives up to its potential, the variable-geometry plane...
