...brigade. The Royal Thai Air Force is soon to receive 18 Northrop-built F-5 jet fighters, while the tough Thai infantry's Garand rifles will soon be replaced with light, fast-firing Armalites, which are much better suited to the miasmic conditions of jungle warfare. Radar and reconnaissance planes will add long-range vision to the 14,000-man Thai Navy, and swift patrol boats will give the 1,500 miles of meandering coastline additional security...
Over the Atlantic, during the third orbit of Gemini 6, the radar transmitter in the spacecraft's nose locked onto a transponder on Gemini 7. The transponder returned signals that were translated into position data by a computer aboard Gemini 6, now only 235 miles behind. At about the same time, the two capsules established voice contact. "We are reading you loud and clear," called Borman. "Good, Frank. See you soon," replied Schirra confidently. "We will be up there shortly...
...celebrated TFX) tactical attack craft now on order by the Air Force and Navy. The Air Force, arguing that flexibility requires a permanent "mix" of missiles and ultramodern bombers, would prefer a three-or four-man craft equipped with exotic "penetration aids" to get it past enemy radar and missile defenses. Its ideal plane would have a range at least equal to the most advanced B-52s-nearly 10,000 miles fully loaded. What the Air Force is getting, at least for now, is essentially a beefed-up two-man fighter with limited capacity for penetration aids, a round-trip...
...when Ugo, the engineer, is shown, we enter the factory for interior shots or else view particular pieces of apparatus outside. As Giuliana and Corrado begin to fall in love and Giuliana begins to open herself up to the world again, Antonioni takes us to the radar installations at Medicina, where the tall masts stand bare along the level landscape. But lest we suspect that Giuliana has become disoriented, the director uses a small black shack as a focal point, the same way a painter might have used it, to keep us from any sensation of dizziness...
...Worthington Corp., a producer of auxiliary generators: "The immediate market for peak power has nearly doubled in importance." For one thing, the Federal Aviation Authority is urging airports, whose lack of standby power in the Northeast blackout shocked everyone, to put in emergency systems for landing lights and radar. Moreover, the Northeast blackout taught utilities the value of auxiliary units not only for partial power when a big generator conks out but for the vital push needed to get it started again. Utilities also find auxiliaries valuable for peak-load periods when their big steam generators often cannot fully meet...
