The guerrillas snipped one barbed-wire fence, stepped through a dozen holes cut in another fence by defensive troops to facilitate their own movements, and let go with a barrage of grenades, satchel charges and recoilless rifle fire. The Reds ran into no outer guards, were on Danang's runway before they met their first challenger. Carrying coffee to a guard on duty down the line, a U.S. Air Force enlisted man spotted the raiders, emptied his pistol at them - and was cut down by a burst of sub machine gun fire...

...Force is counting on the Titan IIIC to be its space workhorse, both for military and experimental purposes.

Future solid boosters, claims United Technology Center, developer of the booster stage, could produce lift-off thrusts of 18 million Ibs. Proponents of solids are even hoping that the Titan IIIC success...
...range missile with a tremendous but highly classified starting power. Sprint has months, or even years, of testing to go before it can even begin to be considered operational. But the idea is that the Nike-Zeus would go off first, seek out and try to destroy all incoming, outer-atmosphere-level ICBMs. If needed, Sprint would go after the missiles that might get past the Nike-Zeus destroyers or those coming in at lower than...
