...readily, some critics think. With more men than Giap, with an abundance of U.S. equipment, with an overwhelming superiority in guns and planes, the French, instead of ranging all over the map as Giap is doing, seem to be handicapped by the bunker-or Maginot-mentality. In the high command there is a conflict of personalities: two four-star generals, Linares and Salan, competing for military advantage. What France badly needs is another De Lattre, one who knows'how to use the material at hand...
Shock Troops. Not until he had about 400,000 acres under lease did Jacobsen send in his teams of geologists and geophysicists to map the surface and underground strata. By such tricks as drilling shallow holes and setting off dynamite in them, the geophysicists could time the shock waves through the ground, thus guess at the type of rock, shale or sand strata through which the waves were passing. For four years the teams mapped the area. Then the results were studied for months by Amerada's Dr. Benjamin B. Weatherby, one of the top geophysicists of the industry...

Noriega hopes that his bureau can start handing out decisions by July. Then the rush to tap the new fields will really begin...
...pitch right from the line of scrimmage; he may also flip four failures in a row without penalty-though his coach might have something to say about that. The new rules deliberately encourage a more open style of play, and good passers have popped up all over the football map this year. Key men in the T-formation, they can make a poor team better than average, a good team great, and, on a bad day. they can also make an average team look helpless. Some of the best went to battle last week, with varying results...
Last summer SHAPE refused to let correspondents cable the location of new bases, though French Communist papers managed to find out enough to print a map of them. Newsmen were refused information on a new headquarters building, though details of the building's vital "war room" were printed in the Communist papers. They had picked up the information from workmen. The blackout on news has also prevented SHAPE from counteracting propaganda from Moscow. When Malenkov recently took a backhanded slap at SHAPE by saying Russia's armed forces were no bigger than in 1939, NATO officials refused...
