...navy of 10,500. Arrayed against this force is a South Korean army of 600,000 men, plus the 2nd and 7th U.S. Infantry Divisions, totaling another 50,000 men. The South cannot match the North's airpower, though the U.S. is moving in 200 to 300 late-model planes to end the imbalance...
Organized into six groups, each commanded by a North Korean army captain, the assassination team members had trained for two years in guerrilla-warfare tactics, then practiced their assignment for 15 days in a mock-up model of the Blue House erected in their base at Wonsan. Setting out on foot to slip through the snowy DMZ, each of the 31 wore an overcoat, black sneakers and a woollen winter cap and carried 66 lbs. of equipment, including a submachine gun, a pistol, a dagger, eight hand grenades and one antitank grenade...
Working with small wind tunnels and flowing streams of liquid, they equipped small streamlined models with pointed electrical conductors and applied high, direct-current voltages to them. As a result, a powerful electrical field was projected in front of the models, ionizing the air or liquid molecules ahead of them. Before the charged particles could reach the model, its own electrical charge repulsed them, shoving them out of the way of the model's leading edge. Projected from the leading surfaces of an SST, the scientists hope, a larger and more powerful electrical field will have the same effect...
...they wait anxiously for the traditional spring pickup in sales, Detroit's automakers are predicting a 1968 out put of up to 9.3 million cars, which would make the model-year one of the industry's best. But auto salesmen, who are still in the midst of winter dol drums, are beginning to wonder. As a result of last year's 45-day strike, Ford production is still catching up, and sales are off 40% for the model-year thus far. General Motors is down 1% from last year in spite of such hot numbers...
...favorite thesis: the greatest artists of each generation are usually the least understood by their contemporaries. Mondrian and Leger, who Janis believes will stand the test of time better than Picasso, are represented by eight Mondrians, four Legers. Still, Picasso is there with a thorny 1928 Painter and Model, which the Modern's Al fred H. Barr Jr. ranks as one of the most valuable pictures in the collection. What kind of test other than difficulty does Janis apply to art? It must relate to the tempo of the time, says he. "I was always interested in what...
