Then a bullet pinged into a chopper from below. Nosing down like angry hornets, a swarm of Hueys carrying a 32-man reconnaissance platoon spotted three Viet Cong on the run, landed near by in the hope of capturing them.

Two commercial trawlers recently began using the gear, have been pulling up enormous catches of as much as 120,000 lbs.

Almost half the team hails from the pre-electric, pre-Ivy League days of Harvard fencing before 1955. Because two of the alumni foil men are unaccustomed to electric weapons, only conventional foils will be used. Epee will be electric. Judges will direct the sabre bouts as usual, since nobody has invented an efficient electric scoring system for sabre...
