...visceral one, is to say categorically yes" to developing a new bomber. The fact that the Strategic Air Command has now canceled B-52 airborne alert flights-simulated runs on Communist targets, with nuclear bombs aboard-in the wake of the Greenland crash in which four hydrogen bombs were lost, could, however, bring the usefulness of a new manned bomber into question...
Cities, like people, react to war in different ways. After a month of terror, Saigon has totally lost its old insular mood of relative peace and well-being and developed a bothersome split personality. By day, the South Vietnamese capital is struggling to regain a veneer of normalcy; by night, as artillery crashes in the suburbs and searchlights stab the sky, Saigon retreats to a mood of agonizing fear and foreboding, awaiting another Communist onslaught that most of its citizens feel is inevitable...

Within 24 hours after he returned them to normal gravity by removing them from the centrifuge, the animals gained approximately 10% in body mass. Conversely, weanling rats raised under normal gravity lost about 10% of their mass-much of it in body fat-within 24 hours after being placed in the higher artificial gravity of a centrifuge. To probe the fat-depletion phenomenon further, Oyama plans to induce arteriosclerosis in rabbits by feeding them high-cholesterol diets and then putting them...
