...planes to bomb a 2,900-sq.-mi. area of north and central Italy. Even making allowances for the greater speed of the modern jet, there remains a large gap. So abundant are planes for tactical use in the South, on the other hand, that military men in Saigon maintain: "In the South we have a baseball bat to kill a flea, in the North a popgun to bring down an elephant...
...source" targets-oil dumps to keep trucks from rolling rather than the trucks themselves or the roads they negotiate, thermal and hydroelectric plants to starve small workshops of power rather than the shops themselves, ammunition factories to cut production rather than smaller, harder-to-hit ammo dumps. The planners maintain that there are more than 50 such targets inviting attack in the North and that they should be hit at least every other day if the U.S. is to effectively impede infiltration of men and supplies. Any such program would require double the number of sorties now flown, as well...
...students should be spared, will demand either a good score on the 100-question College Qualification Test or a reasonably high rank in class to ensure a student of deferment. The new rules, while not necessarily making the draft more democratic, at least force students to work harder to maintain their deferments...

Those computers, with their intricate mix of sophisticated electronic aids, represent a new generation of automated information. Data from a BMEWS station in Alaska, for example, or a message from a Navy antisubmarine patrol plane, is fed into the banked computer memory drums and onto the glowing display consoles without ever passing through human hands or brains. So fast...

Yet some 232,000 people live there, making it more than worthwhile for five of New York's biggest banks to maintain branches around 125th Street, Harlem's main stem. They are Chase Manhattan (assets, $15.3 billion), First National City ($13.9 billion), Manufacturers Hanover ($7.6 billion), Chemical ($6.9 billion) and Bankers Trust ($5.1 billion). Dwarfed by these is the Freedom National Bank, which had, as of the close of last week's banking hours, precisely $9,605,878.07 in assets. Yet for all its relative puniness, Freedom National is growing fast...
