HALL OF SCIENCE. Atomsville, U.S.A., is strictly for small fry. So that parents will take the hint, the entrance is only 5-ft. high. The little visitors can prospect for uranium on a world map, produce electricity by riding bicycles, shoot "neutrons" at "uranium atoms" on a pinball machine, and measure their weight in atoms. They seem to have plenty of fun, whether or not they learn very much about atoms...
What Will It Take? Tenuously supplied by low-flying C46 transports, Kong Le holds on. Last week he looked longingly at the spot on his crinkled battle map that indicated the primary Pathet Lao supply point: Muong Sen, just over the border in Communist North Viet Nam, on Route 7. "The supply dumps there would make fine targets for bombs," he said wistfully, protesting, like so many other commanders in the age of limited war, against constricting "ground rules."

...MILITARY HISTORY AND ATLAS OF THE NAPOLEONIC WARS by Brigadier General Vincent Esposito and Colonel John Robert Elting. Unpaged. Praeger. $19.95. At the heart of this volume are 169 maps, 9 in. by 12 in., originally prepared for use at West Point.

Facing each...
...General Holland M. ("Howling Mad") Smith, was a two-day conference on the deteriorating U.S. position in Southeast Asia. The meetings got un der way in a top-secret briefing room that rivaled the war room in Dr. Strangelove. There were flashing lights, whirring projectors and 9-ft.-high maps bristling with red pins. On one wall was an 18-ft. by 30-ft. colored map of Southeast Asia. On another, facing a semicircular table at which the key conferees sat, were multicolored lights positioning every vessel in the U.S. Pacific fleet and maps pinpointing Viet Cong supply areas, Soviet...
...Swahili for "water of Mulele"), the 5-ft.-tall warriors believed they had been filled with a juice that made them invulnerable to bullets. In their first encounter with government troops, screaming, white-painted Bafulero died in droves under a hail of bullets near the village of Kamaniola (see map...
