...across the country, it pits dedicated environmentalists (many of them city dwellers), who want to save the wilderness at all costs, against country folk, who feel jobs and recreational activities must be preserved as well. For a look at what Minnesotans are calling the battle of the canoe vs. outboard, TIME Correspondent Madeleine Nash toured the combat zone by car, on foot and, of course, by motorboat and canoe. Her report...
Instead, apparently due to a major navigational error, the outboard-powered rubber assault boats deposited the raiders on a remote beach near a kibbutz 40 miles north of Tel Aviv. The bewildered commandos, with no big hotel in sight, sat down and picnicked on the beach before deciding on an alternative plan. If not by boat, they would get to Tel Aviv...
...year. With a vast expanse of coastline (2,911 miles), an abundance of streams and a proliferation of man-made lakes, upcountry and coastal folk alike have as much access to water sports-fishing, boating, diving, skiing-as fabled Californians (about one-third of all the nation's outboard motors are owned by Southerners). Forest-product firms that have made loblolly pine a prime component of pulp and paper have also greened the South with new woodlands astir with game...
Deep in the Darien jungle of Panama last week, a long, pink cayuco (dugout canoe), propelled by an outboard motor, skimmed over the 150-ft.-deep waters of the newly formed lake. Spotting a floating tree trunk ahead, Tomas Perez, a Panamanian Indian, gave the motor full throttle, then lifted the propeller out of the water. The canoe slid easily over the log, hardly disturbing its other occupants, TIME correspondent Bernard Diederich and an odd assortment of caged animals. Following closely behind were two more cayucos manned by other Panamanians and a fiberglass boat carrying the project leader, U.S. Biologist...
...consists of a small nuclear reactor that heats liquid hydrogen until it is expelled as a jet of white-hot gas. To kick out of earth orbit (which requires much less thrust than an earth launch), the 270-ft.-long ships will fire-and then discard-the two outboard NERVAs strapped to their sides; the main booster, at the center of the engine cluster, will be retained. Then, as the two ships pull away from earth orbit, they will be docked end to end to form a single unit within which the crews can pass back and forth through airlocks...
