...tu sarai solo," Leonardo da Vinci remarked five hundred years ago, "tu sarai tutto tuo" (If you are alone, you are your own man). Biking, like gliding, is one of the most delightful expressions of this fact. There is nothing secondhand or vicarious about the sense of freedom, which means possessing one's own and unique experiences, that a big bike well ridden confers. Antisocial? Indeed, yes. And being so, a means to sanity. The motorcycle is a charm against the Group...
...Aside from that localized effect, proponents have consistently argued that the U.S. must build the estimated $40 million plane to maintain its world leadership in commercial aircraft sales (now 85% of the world market). They fear that the British-French version, the Concorde, or the Russians' TU-144, will take over the supersonic field if the U.S. withdraws, and insist that increasingly speedier planes are a technologically inevitable advance in a world committed to going faster and faster ever since the wheel...
...lead in searching the icy waters near the plane's last recorded radio signal. They located a life raft and some debris but later concluded that neither came from the missing plane. The Soviets, obviously distressed at the loss of an expensive piece of strategic equipment, rushed eight Tu-95 reconnaissance bombers into the area to join the search. The AN-22, which made its debut in experimental form in 1965, was developed to haul heavy equipment to frontier areas. Until the U.S. C-5A was introduced in 1968, it held the world record for lifting off air cargo...
Since April, Soviet long-range Tu-95 "Bear" bombers, with a 4½-ton payload, have made six flights to Havana. The April flights are the first landings that Soviet heavy bombers have ever made outside the U.S.S.R. Washington doubts that the Russians are trying to sneak nuclear missiles into Cuba, as they did in 1962. More likely, the Tu-95 is carrying out reconnaissance missions and delivering military supplies. The flights may also be an effort to test the U.S. response; since there was no reaction following the first two flights in April, four more followed...
...herbicide, together with its contaminant, has caused birth defects in laboratory mice. Some investigators see an alarming if unproved correlation between the defoliant's use and a sudden rise in 1966 (over 1965) in the number of Vietnamese babies born with birth defects in Saigon's Tu Du hospital...
