...wonderful and thrilling, too, to ride the pipeline into Korea. The EUR-545, the C-46s and 47s stream into the airports of Japan, laden with everything from battlewise noncoms to dismantled artillery...
...lined with a cone of thin metal. When the charge explodes, the wave of detonation starts at the rear of the shell; when the explosive waves hit the point of the metal liner, the metal comes under immense pressure and acts like a thin fluid. Like a jet-propelled stream of toothpaste, the fluid metal spurts forward, at speeds up to 30,000 feet a second. The jet of liquid metal and gas can pierce more than eleven inches of armor plate. Shaped-charge shells are also equipped with rocket-like fins to give a steady flight without the spin...
Great Hopes. From West Coast ports sailed two carriers laden with planes. Farther westward, occasional warships crept into Pearl Harbor, vanished into the reaches of the Pacific. Through Hawaii flowed the other, inevitable, steady stream of war-commercial airliners out of the Far East carrying hundreds of civilian evacuees.

The day after the Korean Reds...
Editor Tuttle's Fishing, a tuna-sized condensation of the whale-sized Fisherman's Encyclopedia, will not make the fish's lot any easier.

Procedure: pick a spot in a stream or lake and lower a pail of chopped vegetables to it every day for a week. By that time the carp, who are mainly vegetarians, should be using that spot for a feeding ground. A ball of half-baked dough or a piece of half-boiled vegetable is good for bait. Cast it near the feeding ground, give it a foot of slack line, "set" the hook as soon as the outsmarted carp starts moving away. If he is played away from his feeding ground, "other carp will not be frightened...
