...minimal interest in the affairs of the Harvard University Press. For the most part, he let Press director Thomas J. Wilson and a 12-man Board of Syndics--all professors--handle the choice and printing of the surprising number of profitable, exciting books that went out under the Harvard seal...
...Danish government has sent in its own team of scientists to study possible contamination of algae, fish, seals and walruses in the area, and to guard against the possibility of radioactive particles in products destined for human consumption. A Greenland hunter has been assigned to hunt for seal and walrus specimens; they will be examined for radioactivity by scientists who will later obtain more specimens for a comparison that will determine if animal life is gradually picking up radioactive contamination. Other Danish scientists will trace the possible route of contamination once the midsummer thaw starts and water from the melting...
...Viet Cong and North Vietnamese have had ample opportunity to get acquainted with the Seals since they arrived in Viet Nam 21 months ago. In some 600 missions, nearly all of them furtive forays into Communist-held areas, they have laid waste Communist installations (including 70 rivercraft, more than 200 bridges, factories and other structures, and at least 200 fortified positions), thrown the Communists off balance and killed more than 175 Communist soldiers and captured 60 while losing only six dead of their own and none at all to capture. The Navy officially admits only that the Seal teams...
...elite are the Seals that the Navy counts only some 200 throughout the world, and will not reveal how many of those are now in Viet Nam. Each Seal is a volunteer, and each must first undergo the rigors of the Navy's 13-week Underwater Demolition Team course, where the attrition rate is 40%.

All Seals must be proficient in at least one foreign language, in hand-to-hand combat and self-defense techniques. They are the Navy...

Last week TIME's Glenn Troelstrup became the first newsman in Viet Nam permitted to accompany a Seal team on a mission. Dropped by Navy river patrol boats deep into Viet Cong country southeast of Saigon in the swampy mangrove sector of Rung Sat, the Seals set up an ambush beside a small stream. There, for 14 long hours, they froze in position, hip-deep in mud, clad in camouflage suits and bush hats, their faces...
