That evened the score with Vesper, but it didn't settle anything. Taking up an offer from the Gillette Safety Razor Co.'s German branch, Vesper agreed to enter the Ratzeburg Regatta and race once again against the powerful West German crew. Last week, on a windless lake close to the little (pop. 12,123) town of Ratzeburg near the Danish frontier, Karl Adam's husky boys got off with a fast-chopping 50 strokes a minute, built up a one-half-length lead before slowing the pace to 41 strokes.

...planes are dropping Lazy Dogs, which explode in the air and spray the ground with small, razor-sharp projectiles; Cluster Bombs, loaded with hundreds of small bombs, explode after they have penetrated the jungle canopy, and Shrike and Bullpup air-to-ground guided missiles zero in on preselected targets. Ingeniously designed for low-flying missions is the Snakeye, a bomb that upon release opens an assembly of metal ribs like an umbrella's skeleton. The sudden increase of air resistance retards the falling bomb and thus permits the jet that drops it to escape the blast of detonation...

Dozens of pedestrians in a nearby shopping district were flattened by the blast. Where the car had been, there was only a smoking pit, two feet deep. Three charred bodies...
