...25th Division and 196th Light Infantry. Now more 1st Division units and the 173rd Airborne Brigade were brought up. Major General William E. DePuy, commander of the 1st Division, took charge of Attleboro and set up an operational headquarters at Dau Tieng. The once-sleepy village bordering a large rubber plantation soon resembled a World War II beachhead as lumbering C-1235 transports and darting helicopters brought in hundreds of tons of supplies from 175-mm. artillery shells to plastic bottles of mosquito repellent. DePuy soon concluded that Attleboro had caught the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese massing...
...industrial wastes that pollute the air and the streams of the U.S., there has been some progress. In a process now being established in Houston and three other cities, tin cans and other ferrous-metal objects are separated magnetically from other wastes. Rags, paper, plastics and aluminum, wood and rubber are hand-picked from the conveyer belt, each for assignment to reprocessing and recovery. The remaining organic material is "cooked" and deodorized to produce fertilizer. The object in view is that each city will become a closed loop-like a space capsule-and completely reuse all the water and solids...
Fahrenheit 451. The Red Beast roars as it leaps into the sunlight. Thirty feet Tom nose to tail and wrapped in scarlet p1ates of steel, it hurtles down the highway at 100 m.p.h. Outside a new apartment house, it screams to a rubber-ripping stop and flings nine tiny men in tight black uniforms off its big red back. The men crash into a flat, turn drawers and closets inside out, carry off a heap of hidden books, whip out a handsome copper flamethrower, burn all the books to fine grey soot...
...laugh hardest when the pace is fastest, and it moves like the Marx Brothers whenever Steve Kaplan, Arthur Friedman, Robert Bush, (or any combination of them), are on stage. Kaplan is the funniest Roman of them all, and he plays the conniving lead, Pseudolus, with deadly timing, a rubber face, a protean voice, and a Stoic endurance of pratfalls. His is a virtuoso performance, and at one point his delivery of a line stops the show cold. When he sings, there is Merman in his voice, or Rudy Vallee, or whatever will milk a laugh from a lyric. What...
...Geritol. Whatever the reasons, Johnson's operational withdrawal eliminated any last-minute presidential pyrotechnics in a campaign that was remarkably short of fireworks. Nixon, who stumped for nearly 100 Republicans in 32 states, drummed away at the President's Viet Nam policy and his "rubber stamp" Congress, but neither pitch particularly roused his audiences. Vice President Hubert Humphrey encountered such apathy everywhere he went that he finally blurted to a listless Manhattan audience: "Get with it, will you? I'm going to get you some Geritol." At a traditional "bean feed" rally in St. Paul...
