...that gentleman talking so much like a Super-European? Jean Monnet? Paul Henri-Spaak? Not at all. It was none other than the foreign editor of Pravda, the official organ of Russia's Communist Party - a man whose words and ideas could reason ably be expected to reflect the latest thinking and policy ambitions of the Kremlin. Last week, vacationing in The Netherlands, Yuri Zhukov spoke to the Dutch political weekly Haagse Post about what Russia has in mind when it comes to Europe, East or West. His obvious message: After soft-pedaling for the sake...
Colonel Xu's infantry tactics reflect the lessons he learned during the Tet offensive when he threw whole battalions into the city only to see them badly battered. Now he slips small, squad-size units-ten infantrymen and two or three women who handle the cooking-past South Vietnamese defense perimeters and the cordons formed by the U.S. 9th and 25th Divisions. Once inside the city, the team deploys in three sections-one to fight, a second to dig a maze of underground tunnels for quick movement and escape, a third to rest. On a rotation basis, the system...

Faced with spreading urban decay and soaring annual deficits, a strapped city hall felt compelled to place the hospital's money requests far behind other needs, such as schools, slum demolition and downtown...
...liquid crystals' electro-optical potential could be applied soon to a whole new generation of sports scoreboards, traffic-control signs, stock-market tickers, and instrument panels in cars and aircraft. Besides drawing very little power, the devices would work perfectly well in ordinary daylight, since liquid crystals reflect external light rather than produce their own. In the more distant future is a liquid-crystal TV screen. The entire television set, say the RCA researchers, not only would be as thin as a book, but could be watched even in the glaring light of a sun-drenched beach...
