Close up, Reagan's face is a map of wrinkles; yet at a distance on a rostrum he seems young enough to be giving his all once more for good old Notre Dame.

Infra-Red Sky Lab. One of MRDC's proudest accomplishments thus far is an aerial reconnaissance laboratory, built aboard a Royal Thai Air Force C-47 transport. Equipped with cameras and infra-red sensors, similarly equipped planes have been making thermal maps showing the heat patterns of heavily forested areas in southern Thailand, which is presently plagued by Chinese-led bands of Communist terrorists. Once the normal heat pattern of an area has been established, trained operators of the secret equipment aboard the C-47 can quickly spot any thermal changes on the map - changes that could be caused...

Eldridge Cleaver, in a letter written from Folsom Prison shortly after the outbreak, sums it up: "Watts was a place of shame. We used to use Watts...
