Neither Food nor Water. The battle began when the 2nd Battalion of the 173rd Airborne brigade neared the top of the first of Hill 875's twin ridges. Communists in concealed bunkers suddenly slashed the lead company with withering machine-gun fire. The battalion's trailing company moved back down the hill to try to cut out a helicopter landing zone for reinforcements. A flanking North Vietnamese force, poised waiting for the troopers, pounced and hit them hard...
...cost ($18,430 to $23,345) offshoots of the Mark 21. Encouraged by the company's rapid growth-over the past five years, annual sales have almost tripled, to $15.2 million-Rachal merged last month with Alon, Inc., a Kansas manufacturer of training aircraft. Moving into the twin-engine field, he has contracted to build a 300-m.p.h. turboprop executive plane designed by Japan's Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. And next year, in his most ambitious undertaking, Rachal will introduce the Mooney Mustang; a pressurized, single-engine private plane, it will cruise at 230 m.p.h. and altitudes...
...spot, transforming Wotan's spear into a tongue of flame; in the inexplicit staging, these moments stood out in a relief that old-fashioned literalness could never achieve. The orchestra, which Von Karajan subdued to the point of regretfulness during the love scene between Siegmund and his twin sister Sieglinde in Act I, later blared and crackled as Wotan and Fricka haggled about the implications of incest, thus highlighting Wagner's philosophical meditations on the Ring rather than the story itself...
...force now consists of 62 twin-engine Mirage IV bombers and a growing stockpile of conventional atom bombs of up to 150 kilotons each. The Mach 2.2 Mirage carries a single bomb, and from such bases as Istres in Southern France can be over Russian cities in a half-hour. France has also success fully tested a medium-range missile called sol-sol-balistique stratégique, and plans to have 50 of them by 1970. In Haute-Provence, workers are building underground silos from which the missiles will be launched. This year France launched Le Redoubtable, the first...
Grizzly!, the first special in the National Geographic Society series, focused mostly on 51-year-old twin brothers, Frank and John Craighead, a pair of wildlife biologists who track, drug, tag, and record the habits of grizzlies in Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks. Best shot: a bear wakes with a roar from his drug-induced slumber and charges head-on into the side of the Craigheads' car. The Craigheads, though, are the real stars; urban viewers can only admire the intelligence and understanding with which they impart to their children a respect and fascination for natural life...
