...Reds with the first volley. Then Australian, New Zealand and U.S. artillery found the range. When the smoke cleared, the Communists were in full flight, and 220 Viet Cong dead littered the ground. Under a rubber tree, guarding the body of his slain platoon leader, was Private B. C. Miller of Brisbane. Wounded in the face, shoulder and leg, Miller had lapsed into unconsciousness only to be awakened by a Viet Cong trying to tug off his boots. "Bug off!" Miller shouted at the startled Red, who promptly complied...

Through an optimum setup of framing, wheels, fenders, hood, engine and other components, Ford Safety Engineer Harold Brilmyer aims to "work out a sequential arrangement so that everything collapses in a prearranged form." This may sound like small comfort, but it could extend the duration of the typical collision from 90 milliseconds to 125 milliseconds, cut impact forces...
