...Communists have dotted Cambodia's 600-mile frontier along South Viet Nam with dozens of jungle encampments, of which at least five are classified by U.S. intelligence as major bases (see map). The network, which stretches from the marshlands of the Mekong Delta into the bloodied hills of the Central Highlands, is believed to support six regiments of North Vietnamese regulars as well as innumerable Viet Cong guerrillas-a total of up to 20,000 men who are kept busy raiding and reconnoitering along the border. A key base is tucked away in Cambodia's "Parrot...
Flares Like Fireworks. The North Vietnamese obviously saw Dak To as not much of an obstacle to their plan to sweep down through the valley to overrun the town of Kontum, then turn eastward for a damaging drive into the Highlands' heart (see map).

...pictures of a model submarine, a model aircraft carrier, an airplane silhouette, the letter R and various geometric shapes. Using low frequencies, acoustical holography could explore for oil and mineral deposits at depths of several miles. Archaeologists could use higher frequencies to search for buried cities. Oceanographers may well map the ocean floor in the same way. And at frequencies between 1 and 10 megacycles, diagnostic holograms may some day chart not only tumors, but soft areas of the body-such as muscles, blood vessels and brain tissue-that can not be usually seen with standard X-ray techniques...
