Some space observers believe that the tests relate to an offensive orbiting weapons system. Other scientists have noted that the payloads seem to be brought back to earth within a closely limited area some 600 miles northeast of Tyuratam, where radar and other sensor devices can obtain a wide variety of re-entry data. Pursuing this line of reasoning, their best guess is that the Russian test flights are part of an effort to develop either maneuverable warheads that can avoid anti-ballistic missiles or manned vehicles that can withstand the 23,400 m.p.h. re-entry speeds of a lunar...
...days of raids, Navy and Air Force jets pounded away at the Communists' vital northeast railway that connects Hanoi with Nanning in China's Kwangsi province. Severing the single-line track repeatedly within the 30-mile zone, the planes knocked out the major rail-highway bridge and one of its two bypasses at Lang Son, a dozen miles from the border, and heavily damaged marshalling yards up and down the line. In the first raid, U.S. pilots caught the Vietnamese by surprise, blasted 143 rail cars for the biggest bag yet scored in a single...
...African regions are divided neatly by a boundary running northeast through Ghana, Togo, Dahomey, Upper Volta, Niger, Mali, and into Algeria (see map). To the east of the boundary lies the Pan-African region, dated as 550 million years old. West of it is the 2-billion-year-old Eburnean area. According to Bullard, if the South American bulge had once fitted under the bulge of Africa, the continuance of the delineation between the two rock regions would be found running southwest through Brazil from a point near the city of Sao Luis 2,070 miles north...
...plot these samples, the correlation was astounding. They all fitted exactly." In addition to the identical ages of the regions, Hurley, his M.I.T. associates and their collaborators at the University of Sao Paulo found the boundary line between the 550-million-and 2-billion-year-old areas in northeast Brazil exactly where they had predicted it would...
Died. Floyd G. Hoard, 40, solicitor general of northeast Georgia's Piedmont Circuit, a gang-busting state prosecutor elected in 1964 who personally led police on innumerable raids against gambling racketeers, auto thieves and bootleggers, all of whom flourish in his rural district; of injuries from at least six sticks of dynamite wired to his car's ignition; in Jefferson...
