...wounded and most probably many of its dead. It left behind 103 V.C. corpses. U.S. losses were the heaviest taken in a single engagement since early summer: 55 killed, 66 wounded. But elsewhere the ground action was relatively light. Though the Allies sent a total of 56 battalion-size sweeps searching for enemy throughout South Viet Nam, the only other place where the Communists fought rather than ran was in the northern I Corps area. Near Quang Tri City, 80 miles north of Danang, U.S. Marines fought a series of sharp skirmishes with North Vietnamese regulars; in the same vicinity...
Loud enough for a band three times their size, decked out in such a motley blur of polka-dot pants, fringed suede shirts, neck chains, lizard boots and other psychedelic cowboy garb that they sometimes look like three times as many people, Cream go beyond oddness into originality. In a genre that is virtually defined by vocal effects alone, their slashing, blues-steeped sound is mainly instrumental; they even use their voices like instruments. Their motto: "Forget the message, forget the lyrics; just play...
...five games the Packers scored only 87 points to rank a lamentable twelfth out of 16 teams; 22 times they lost the ball on fumbles and interceptions v. 24 times for the entire 1966 season. Injury-benched Fuzzy Thurston is no longer opening up truck-size holes at guard; age appears to be robbing Forrest Gregg, Jerry Kramer and Bob Skoronski of their speed and timing. In the backfield, the Packers sorely miss the devastating running and blocking of Paul Hornung and Jim Taylor. Replacements Donny Anderson, 24, and Jim Grabowski, 23, may yet earn their $1,000,000 bonuses...
...Closet-Size Shoe Box. Because the large currents that flow in superconductors generate the intense magnetic fields needed in atom smashers and in controlled fusion experiments, superconductors will eventually replace bulky elecromagnets in these areas. A 1-lb. superconducting magnet cooled by a 200-lb. refrigerating system and powered by a 6-volt battery can produce as intense a magnetic field as an iron-core electromagnet weighing several tons and requiring 50 kilowatts of power. Entire trains could be suspended above their roadbeds in strong magnetic fields produced by superconducting magnets, enabling them to travel more smoothly and with less...
...placed in a magnetic field, their electrical resistance reappears. Thus by alternately applying and withdrawing a magnetic field, scientists can turn a superconductor into an on-off switching device many times faster (and many times smaller) than the solid-state semiconductors now used computers. With cryogenic techniques, a closet-size computer could fit in a shoe box. Cryogenics will also make possible such esoteric devices as loss-free superconductive motors with rotors that float in liquid helium, and superconductive gyroscopes that float in frictionless magnetic fields...
