...Bogota's military barracks to discourage any wavering army units from joining the rebels. Then 1,000 infantrymen, backed by artillery and tanks, marched up to the military police barracks. Forero, disheartened by the failure of other armed forces to support him, surrendered his hostages in return for safe conduct to asylum in the Salvadoran embassy. By midday the city and country were firmly back in the junta's hands. And this week's election, broadcast Piedrahita for the junta, will be guaranteed "even if it costs us our lives...
...Before a large manned spaceship tries to land on the moon, said Dr. John Barnes of U.C.L.A., it might be a good idea to test the treacherous surface from a safe distance. A nuclear bomb exploded on the moon would tell a good deal, but its radioactivity would contaminate the virgin surface. Dr. Barnes suggests that a small amount of chemical explosive would be enough.

If the fuselage were damaged at high altitudes and pressurization failed, explosive decompression could knock out both pilot and copilot; to "fail safe," say the pilots, the system should have an engineer on the job who can also perform pilot's duties. The hole in this argument, say the airlines, is that any explosive decompression in the cockpit would knock out the entire crew-including a third pilot-engineer...
