...Reds dig round the clock. Even hardcore V.C. troopers often dig an hour each morning instead of doing calisthenics, but most of the excavation is done by three-man teams of "volunteers"-usually village boys and girls impressed for the duty-who are expected to dig three yards of tunnel a day. The results are amazing. At Cu Chi, the newly blooded American 25th Infantry Division last month found a three-level tunnel network that snaked to 15 feet below the matted jungle and stretched more than 200 yards...
...South Viet Nam as the frequent battle communique: "Initial contact was light." In order to engage the Viet Cong, Americans and South Vietnamese have stepped up their "search and clear" thrusts into Communist-held territory, using flame throwers, gas and explosives to flush the Viet Cong from their tunnels, leveling whole forest areas to chop snipers from the trees. Turning the tables, crack Marine sharpshooters are now carrying hunting rifles equipped with telescopic sights able to zero in on guerrillas from afar. B-52s have begun making tandem runs over Viet Cong tunnel areas, first with deep-penetration bombs that...
...young artist persisted. He went to London to study the sunset Turners, which expanded his palette. He encountered Japanese prints, which banished shadows and freed him from tunnel-vision perspective. He tinkered with impressionism, dabbled in pointillism, and became the leading colorist of fauvism. Eventually, he discovered Matissism...
...Muscle Tunnel. Research surgical teams from two major medical centers told the College of Cardiology about new techniques based on the Vineberg principle but using different vessels to carry blood to the heart muscle. Cleveland's Dr. Earle B. Kay reported that he and Dr. Akio Suzuki cut out a piece of the left lung's arterial network with "a multitude of side branches," and sew the "trunk" end into the descending aorta. Then they implant the smaller branches in the heart muscle. The advantage of this method, which has so far been successful in four...
Cooper has let his imagination soar even farther. Using different radii and gravitational forces in his formulas, he has laid out the mathematical groundwork for extraterrestrial travel networks. According to his calculations, straight-line tunnel travel between any two surface locations would be 53 minutes on the moon, 49 on Mars...
