...world, strikes awe in the hearts of mountaineers and non-mountaineers alike. It is a pity that this otherwise magnificent full-color photographic record of the 1963 U.S. expedition includes only one full portrait of the mountain, and that a distant one. The book also could have supplied a map tracing the Americans' course, as well as the routes of the two other successful climbs, the first being the British expedition of 1953. Even so, these 90 color plates rank among the best ever taken of any climb. Dr. Hornbein, a member of the expedition, wrote the text from...
...military planners call it "the red envelope." Shaped like a triangular flap, the 10,000-sq.-mi. zone encompasses the industrial heartland of North Viet Nam (see map). Yet, as though sealed off by an invisible cordon, its cluster of strategic installations around Hanoi and Haiphong has hardly been grazed by the war, for the U.S. has proscribed bombing raids on the triangle-save for some Soviet SAM missile sites and a few minor targets-ever since its day-in, day-out raids against the North began last February...
Tougher & Faster. El Tor, long underestimated, is now bullying "classical" cholera off the map. In the British Medical Journal, Calcutta's Dr. Sachimohan Mukerjee reports evidence that if old-fashioned cholera and El Tor bacilli are put into the same test tube or invade the same human victim, El Tor will completely crowd out the "classical" vibrios. Not only is it a tougher bug; it also spreads faster. And a recovered El Tor victim may remain a menace by continuing to excrete the bacilli for as long as six months, as against a mere three weeks after classical cholera...
...Ontario Hydro-Electric Commission operations center in suburban Toronto, a technician twisted a control handle to the right to raise the voltage. In the next three seconds, the $265 million 16-turbine Sir Adam Beck Generating Station No. 2 (see map) sent 1,600,000 kw. of power careering out of control through 80,000 sq. mi. of the northeastern U.S. and Canada. Thus, at 5:16 p.m. on Black Tuesday, began history's biggest power failure (TIME cover...
...Cavalry got lots of blistered feet, fought some brief skirmishes and took some prisoners, but made no real contact with the enemy. The chance of real battle seemed lost until last week, when the U.S. abruptly found its foe in the shadow of Chu Pong Mountain (see map). The result was the first major encounter between U.S. and North Vietnamese regular troops-and the biggest, bloodiest and most brutal losses for both sides...
