...Grounds, a small party of students explored the underground world of Harvard. Our point of departure was the basement of Weld Hall, one of nine operating stations in the Tunnel system. There, we met the foreman of the Tunnel operating engineers, Mr. Floyd Kingsbury, who first showed us a map of the University in which were indicated the areas under the control of Buildings and Grounds. We noticed four large shaded areas and two small ones; Radcliffe, left unshaded, was clearly not part of things...
...Dominy's recommendation, Udall ordered Glen Canyon's gates opened. That was like pulling the plug on one bathtub and letting the water drain into another (see map). In this case, the Glen Canyon water flowed, at 18,000 cu. ft. per sec., 370 miles downriver to Lake Mead and Hoover Dam. The water is still running, which is fine for the folks in Phoenix and Los Angeles. But the water loss to the Upper Basin is drying up Lake Powell, and with it the hopes there for new electric power in the near future...
Refusing to Fade. Surging out of the forest, 1,000 Red troops overran Kienlong in the guerrilla-controlled Camau Peninsula area (see map), killing 60 of the 90 Civil Guard defenders, and publicly disemboweling the district chief, his wife, infant son and two other officials. When the government counterattacked with 2,000 air-supported troops, the guerrillas pulled out of the village.

Then the Communists stood and fought half a dozen battles that...
...days," he told Considine, "with considerably fewer casualties than were suffered during the so-called truce period, and it would have altered the course of history." The plan called for an air strike with "between 30 and 50" atomic bombs just north of the Yalu River (sec map). This would have wiped out the enemy's air capability. Then, using 500,000 Chinese Nationalist troops "sweetened by two U.S. Marine divisions," MacArthur would have landed on both the east and west sides of the Korean peninsula at the North Korean border, thus trapping the Chinese Communist armies that were...
...Your map of Cyprus shows that the distance between Cyprus and the nearest point on the Turkish coast is 45 miles, while the distance between Cyprus and Athens is 520 miles. This is misleading to the uninformed because-apart from the indisputable fact that Cyprus is, was and will always be a Greek island in mentality, history, tradition, religion, language, folklore, feelings and atmosphere, literally and metaphorically-the distance between Cyprus and the Greek island of Rhodes is only half the distance from Athens. ALEXIS SOLOMOS Athens >TIME'S map "Danger Point" [March 20] illustrated the proximity...
