...about one-third. There are already 35 million potential voters 35 or younger, and that number will shoot up as the great war-baby crop continues to turn 21. No party can ignore the shift in the political center of gravity, for around this center will swing political success in the future. To be sure, parental conditioning plus ethnic background still give many youngsters their political set. But in the greatest numbers ever, young people who feel no party allegiance are becoming part of the electorate. They are mostly unencumbered by the political possessions and prejudices born of the Depression...
...very success of U.S. firepower so far is likely to make big kills harder and harder to come by, as Operation Concord in Binh Dinh province last week proved. An estimated 45,000 Viet Cong have been in Binh Dinh, and in the largest operation of the war, 14,000 allied troops went in at three points to try to kill a sizable batch of them. Two hundred helicopters made 358 sorties to drop 5,500 men into Suoi Ca Valley, where a V.C. regiment was reported. Another 2,500 of the First Team were out to clear "Happy Valley...
...reason was simple.

Off the coast of Southern California, the last crew of aquanauts surfaced from the U.S. Navy's Sealab II (TIME, Sept. 17), and its 45-day mission at a depth of 205 ft. was declared an "unqualified success." Off Cap Ferrat on the French Riviera, a yellow and black checkerboard-patterned underwater house bobbed its round dome out of the water to the tooting of yacht whistles and the obvious satisfaction of Captain Jacques-Yves Cousteau, the pioneering French underwater explorer who had commanded the three-week...
...Shelf's most practical experiment turned out to be its most spectacular success. To check on man's ability to work underwater, divers went down more than 375 ft. to set up a 16-ft. "Christmas tree," a complex of valves and connecting pipes by which the output of an oil well is controlled. While French petroleum experts watched on closed-circuit TV, two divers manipulated their tools with little difficulty, proved that they could hook up and operate valves and clean tubes as well as anyone working on land. In one test, they accomplished in an hour...
