Last week Saigon felt the explosive touch of Guam-based B-52s, as the giant SAC bombers hit a V.C. troop concentration only 20 miles from the capital. It was the 17th mission for the B-52s since they were first brought into the war last June. Though each plane's sortie on the 5,200-mile round trip from Guam costs $30,000, the B-52s have distinct...
