...tougher war. Since he counts on the U.S. finally tiring of the war and pulling out, he would thus be working against his own aim. Beyond this, the reaction from other countries must have raised for him the unwelcome prospect that he might make Hanoi, rather than Washington, the target of war protest...
...fire-control computer, and it was soon beyond repair, owing to a lack of spare parts. Lieut. Commander Roy E. McCoy, 38, who runs the division from his Empire desk aboard the Carronade, quickly jury-rigged an alternative system, known as the "bow and arrow" method.

Most ammunition sold in the U.S. each year is shot up by skeet-and trapshooters, rifle-match enthusiasts and wood-lot plinkers-gunmen no more bloodthirsty than golfers or bowlers. Yet that does not detract from the main point: U.S. gun laws are an ineffective muddle, and the nation would benefit from stricter enforcement of existing laws and sterner...
