...Gregg Allman, ensconced behind his mushroom-gilded organ, fended off a barrage of hats, scarves and requests with his arm and told the house below, "There's no use making requests, cuz we're gonna play every damn thing we know," Dan Hunter, a reporter for WAMH radio in Amherst, stared into the bottom of his beer. I took a seat next to him and a middle-aged couple from Woon-socket...
...bullet, which accounts for 90% to 95% of all handguns in the U.S. A .38-cal. cartridge, for instance, will put a dent in the Kevlar (see cut), but the knit layers absorb the shock, leaving the imprint of the weave on the slug as it blunts into mushroom-shape and then falls harmlessly away. Small wonder that President Ford was reported wearing Kevlar on the New Hampshire hustings and that 50,000 policemen already have or will soon get the new body armor...
...ending in a most unwoodsman-like display of burned fingers, smoldering copies of the Milwaukee Sentinel, and constant invocations of deity piercing loudly and unecologically through the bucolic serenity of the Northland forest.

Last week, for instance, West Germany agreed to sell Brazil facilities and technology that could enable Brasilia to develop nuclear arms. Meanwhile, both the U.S. and the Soviet Union are pushing ahead with the development...
COMMAND POST IN THE SKY: Defense Secretary James Schlesinger this month urged Congress to approve the construction of a squadron of modified Boeing 707s equipped with monstrous, mushroom-shaped radar domes for the Air Force's new airborne warning and control system (AWACS). Literally a command post in the sky, each plane will cost $111 million-the most expensive plane ever built by the Air Force. Packed with computers, radars and jamming gear, the AW ACS will be able to spot far-off targets, including very low-flying planes, and feed instructions to wide-ranging U.S. combat aircraft. Over...
