There are nonetheless some military tasks that women may always find difficult because of physical limitations. According to Government studies, the average man's size, muscle and bone mass, fat distribution and structure of elbow joints and pelvis give him advantages in strength, speed, throwing and jumping. He also is superior in physical endurance and heat tolerance, partly because his heart and lung size, oxygen uptake, hemoglobin content and sweat-gland function differ from a woman...

Still, the Soviets, caught between increasing demands for energy and declining supplies of fossil fuels, are catching up. They are not only expanding their use of established nuclear technologies and plants but, with a speed sure to cause concern on the western side of the Iron Curtain, they are moving into new-and not wholly proven-ways of harnessing the atom...
...wizards at Bell Telephone Laboratories in Murray Hill, N.J., who launched the microelectronic age with the invention of the transistor 31 years ago, have broken that speed limit. Bell scientists have developed a way of at least doubling the velocity at which electrons race through tiny chips. Their feat could point the way to a whole new generation jf "smart," computer-run devices in the lome as well as in industry...
