...veteran of Merrill's Marauders who argues for "deep penetration" battalions able to exist for weeks on end in mountains and forest. The Viet Cong are expected to react with well-planned assaults on the new strategic hamlets, but improved communications-each hamlet will have its two-way radio-will bring, within minutes it is hoped, swift reinforcements in the ubiquitous helicopters...
...motors, easily outdistanced coast guard patrol boats on the short, 40-mile run between South Korean landing coves and the Japanese island of Tsushima; on land, Han's Jeep convoys loaded with booty defiantly traveled without license plates and with their own armed guard. It was a profitable two-way trade: to Japan he ferried Koreans who each paid $150-$300 for the illegal passage; from Japan he smuggled contraband cosmetics, toys, transistor radios, small machinery. By 1960 Han was grossing $500,000 a year. Dozens of customs and police officials were on his payroll...

Lederberg expects his no-return lab to reach the moon about 1964; a more sophisticated package of life-seeking instruments should be landed on Mars about 1967. The worried geneticist is especially pleased to hear from the space blacksmiths that manned, two-way journeys even to the moon will be unlikely for at least a decade. By the time the first human starts home from Mars, the earth's biologists should know enough about Martian life to keep it from damaging life on the home planet...
