Leap Overland. In theory, the Mohawks would sweep low over the battle area to seek out the enemy troops. Guided by information from the Mohawks, the U.S. soldiers organized into the Air Cavalry Troop (so named because its function is similar to the deep penetration and surveillance missions of oldtime horse brigades) would leap over rivers, hills and forests in their choppers, land in strategic striking spots. As they attacked, the aircraft would support them with airborne firepower. The whole operation would be directed by the troop commanders, thus providing close air-ground coordination in battle...
...cases of soft drinks; a serving pantry, with a galley down a flight of steps on a lower level. Then come the first-class compartments, four of them, each completely private. In contrast with the rest of the plane, where fittings are as spartan as those on a troop carrier, the first-class section has wood paneling and curtains...

"I think I can play equally well on any basis and that I'd be more effective starting." When Starter West tore a hamstring muscle last month, Barnett got his chance-and the results will make...
...halfway out of West Berlin already. So long as he avoids more obvious encroachments, such as the Cuba stunt, he will always be able to make a given challenge "not worth" a major response. Thus we are asking the Europeans to believe that Soviet armored troop carriers in West Berlin mean as much to us as the missiles in Cuba. And this is clearly false...
