...been around for some time. As for LSD and pot, they are what's happening, and it would be surprising if pop songs didn't take account of them. Rock 'n' roll didn't write the script, it only made the scene. But the main thing is that rock 'n' roll is the first original development in popular music since jazz. Groups like The Beatles and The Stones display a phenomenal melodic inventiveness and a harmonic and contrapuntal imagination that even us squares...
...guided missiles. It can be air-dropped from C-130 or C-141 cargo planes (by eight 100-ft.-wide parachutes) without damage, swim like a turtle across water obstacles. After testing, it will go into operation within a year. An even more versatile vehicle, the MBT-70 (for Main Battle Tank of the '70s), is being developed jointly by the U.S. and West Germany in history's first two-nation collaboration on a major military weapon.

All missed, thanks to a highly sophisticated defense-part electronic trickery, part "jinking" (violent evasive maneuvers)-used by U.S. pilots. When a mission goes in, radar-rigged C121 Constellations, called "the Big Eyes," orbit off the Tonkin coast, able to pick up a missile launch at the moment of ignition. The Big Eyes flash an instantaneous radio warning to the fighter-bomber pilots...

And that code says that no pathologist shall practice in any lab where the boss is not a pathologist; others might not live up to the college's code. The Government, said Oliver Neibel, executive director of and general counsel to the college, has taken the first step in its campaign of "harassment of the entire medical profession." The suit was filed, he said, to put pressure on doctors already overburdened...

Area coordinators complained about the publicity, Adams complained about the signature tally, and the Students for a Democratic Society contingent in the main office complained about the moderation of the candidate...
