...maximum altitude of 61,000 ft., attains speeds of up to 633 m.p.h., and can stay up for an hour and a half. It is launched from a mother ship, generally a Lockheed C-130 Hercules, from a distance up to 200 miles away from the target area. The mother ship maintains line-of-sight radar surveillance, hovers around until the drone has taken its pictures and, with the help of its preset inertial guidance system, returns and parachutes or is guided to a soft landing. The Firebee is mostly used as a target drone, but, as the Ryan company...
...wanted to talk about it the next morning. O'Brian suddenly found himself a stand-in for millions of televiewers. "I'm no intellectual," he says. "I like what attracts me. I have the popular mind. About all I demand from TV is that it reach the target it aims...
...were expected to punt on first down inside their own 20-yd. line and never, never throw a forward pass. The upstarts from Indiana punted only on fourth down?and passed the Cadets goggle-eyed. In one fantastic flurry. Quarterback Gus Dorais completed 12 in a row. His main target was a balding bandy-legged end named Knute Kenneth Rockne, who at 5 ft. 8 in. and 145 lbs. was probably the smallest man on the field. Army defenders could not help admiring Rockne's courage; the game had barely started before he was limping noticeably. Late in the first...

Parseghian's next visit was with Jack Snow, the 6-ft. 2-in., 215-lb. end whom he had singled out as Huarte's No. 1 passing target. Between them, Huarte and Snow have already broken practically all of Notre Dame's season passing records...
...Army's new night peeper leaves no such signature. It needs only the faint light that comes from the moon, stars or sky glow, which is never entirely absent. This light, bouncing off targets, is focused on a semitransparent screen at the front end of an extremely sensitive electron tube. The screen is photoemissive-it gives off electrons when struck by the faintest light. These photoelectrons are then speeded up by high electrical charges so that when they hit a phosphor (luminescent) screen in the tube, they make a much brighter image. The process is repeated three times, until...
