...burying some of their guns in deep holes and caves and moving others from place to place, the North Vietnamese have kept the Marines under continual pressure. Last week they took some heavy pounding themselves. After two months in which they stayed away from the DMZ, largely because of SAM missiles entrenched there, the Air Force's big eight-engined B-52s returned to pound Communist installations in the northern half of the zone...
...Sinai SAM. The Moscow show provided Western experts with just a glimpse of new Soviet weaponry. A more leisurely look has recently been made possible through the courtesy of the Israelis, who captured tons of the latest Soviet equipment from the fleeing Egyptians. At bases in the Sinai and in Israel, the Israelis have been showing off some of the weaponry to Western technicians and, on at least one occasion, even lending it out.

A keener student of the tax game, the late auto heir and playboy Horace Dodge, who died at 63 in 1963, took it all with him and more. Unable to get along...
...bakeries across the country. The family followed the bakeries and ran them as individual fiefdoms. They still are to some extent, although control has increasingly become centralized. Now, explains Arthur Shapiro, "everybody picks the thing he thinks he's best at." The family's favorite example is Sam Shapiro, son of Nathan, who tired of running bakeries and in 1957 started the plastics division...
