...China border. Result: more than 70 buildings destroyed, nearly 50 others damaged. Other targets were Ban Nuoc Chieu, 80 miles northwest of Hanoi, and Nasan, 115 miles northwest of the capital, where 18 attacking planes blasted airfield runways, destroyed two buildings and fired a big aircraft fuel storage tank. At the same time, U.S. aircraft continued their daily raids against North Viet Nam below Hanoi, where they are beginning to run out of targets. The toll: one railroad bridge, three highway bridges, five barges, one coastal lighter, one ferryboat...
...Tanks & Snipers. At an intersection, one of Caamaño's rebel tanks clanked up and fired into an 82nd Airborne command post, tearing off a radioman's leg. The paratroopers turned the tank into a furnace with seven rounds from a 106-mm. recoilless rifle.

...chances in 1963 (he finished second to Parnelli Jones), and Designer Colin Chapman was determined not to let this happen again. Carefully calculating Clark's rate of fuel consumption (3 mi. per gal. of alcohol), he scheduled a stop every 162 mi. He redesigned the Lotus' gas tank to speed up the refueling process. Finally, he hired a crew of ringers to handle the hoses: the Wood Brothers (actually four brothers and two friends), who are famed around the U.S. stock-car circuit for their ability to refuel a car and change a set of tires...
