...used it to the best advantage so far, slipping stealthily through swamps and jungles to attack, then disappear. But thanks to the growing armada of troop-carrying transports and helicopters in Viet Nam, the U.S. has developed its own brand of mobility. Last week, despite shifting veils of monsoon rain and cloud, that mobility was being used to good effect. Siege & Spider Holes. First demonstration came in the battle for Route 19, an affair that at first glance seemed doomed to repeat the bloody disasters of Song Be and Dong Xoai. For 70 days the Viet Cong had besieged...

What concerned them most was the sorry shape of the sugar, cocoa and coffee markets, the absence of rain, the shortage of food, the need to get pencils and books for the kids returning to school-in short, the same things that concerned them before Santo Domingo erupted...

Known as LASA, for Large Aperture Seismic Array, the Montana system was laid out to get the best possible signal-to-noise ratio; it promises to provide a twentyfold improvement in the U.S.'s ability to detect seismic signals. With so many instruments spaced so far apart, it will also be possible to trace the direction and distance of an incoming signal because...
