...Pentagon, the Army advised 25 older generals last week that they must take early retirement. The Administration is still waiting (after three months) for the Senate to confirm General Creighton Abrams as its new Chief of Staff.

Despite the thoroughness and expertise of the team at Tan Son Nhut, there are occasionally partial remains that are impossible to identify positively. In these infrequent cases, despite continuing efforts at considerable risk to probe sites where American soldiers are believed or known to have been killed, complete recovery and final identification must wait until the cessation of hostilities...

To clean this...

One of last week's projects was an effort to probe its outer reaches, the spawning ground of the solar wind. Another project was to analyze the spectral lines made in the corona by trace amounts of metals...
