...order. Some projects turn out well, of course, such as the SR-71 reconnaissance plane (see SCIENCE). But the new tank program is a mess, with three separate projects years behind schedule and far in the red. The M-16 rifle now in use in Viet Nam is a sound weapon, but it went into full production inexcusably late. For a time the Communists, with their new Russian-designed AK-47 assault rifles, had better personal weapons than the forces of the most advanced nation in the world...

The Bruins moved in by subsidizing all minor-league play in Orr's home town of Parry Sound, Ont.-and refurbishing the Orr homestead to boot. By the time he was 18, Bobby was in the Boston training camp with a two-year contract for $65,000 in his pocket. His teammates initiated him by shaving his body from head to foot, "Better that he got it from...
