More Magnanimous. Into the polling places-Buddhist temples, tin-roofed schools, thatched jungle huts-swarmed 420,000 of the electorate. Somehow, Souvanna's web held. By week's end more than 30 of his supporters were elected, giving him a clear majority.

The Bushmaster has the 77-ft. 10-in. wingspan, all the lifting power and durability of its venerable predecessor, and the basic structure of the aircraft remains virtually unchanged.
