...Pursuit. Johnson had originally scheduled the air attacks for Feb. 19. But in Viet Nam the weather and the political climate are both uncertain, and coups or clouds kept getting in the way. Finally 19 propeller-driven South Vietnamese Skyraiders and 20 U.S. Air Force Super Sabres took off from Danang and headed for the North Vietnamese torpedo-boat base at Quangkhe, 65 miles north of the 17th parallel. There they relentlessly clobbered berths, repair shops, ammo dumps and supply warehouses with 70 tons of bombs, destroying an estimated 70% of the targets and sinking three to five PT boats...
...enough just yet, but it was a considerable improvement. In eight strikes last week, U.S. F-100 Super Sabres, B57 Canberras and prop-driven Skyraiders plastered Viet Cong concentrations, leaving scores of guerrillas dead in their wakes. The planes dropped tons of newly developed anti-personnel bombs, including an aerial version of the artilleryman's cannister: a big bomb casing that opens after release to pour out a string of smaller bombs on a 100-ft. line...
Yale's "second-stringers" would be super-stars at most other places. Against Princeton, the Yalies had enough depth to win, 72-23, without swimming anyone in more than one individual event.

If there was anything India's staggering economy did not need, it was new shackles. The country's third five year plan, now in its 47th month has failed so badly that food output has not kept pace with population growth Unemployment is soaring, and per-capita income has failed to gain for three years. To bolster the economy...
...Gillette feels, will once more give earnings that old smooth feeling. Even so, it warily watches Wilkinson, which now sells in 50 countries (v. Gillette's more than 100) and quietly slipped into France recently with low-key ads that announced: "Elle est arrivée-the Wilkinson Super Sword." In both France and Italy, Gillette produces lower-priced brands similar to Seven O'Clock that will be converted to stainless if the war heats up. Meanwhile, it receives royalties regularly from Wilkinson, whose blades and bustling business are based on a 1959 Gillette patent ignored until Wilkinson...
