...Viet Nam. The AH-1G Huey-Cobra, a waspish two-man whirlybird with a top speed of 219 m.p.h., can pack a 4,000-round-per-minute machine gun, a grenade launcher and 76 air-to-ground 2.75-in. rockets. Faster and deadlier than any other helicopter in use in Viet Nam, the Cobra is also far safer for pilots. For Viet Cong gunners it is a tough target indeed; it has been slimmed down to a svelte 36 in. (v. 100 in. in the old Huey gunships) by seating the pilot and copilot one behind the other instead...
...cannon is hardly the weapon to use against an antiwar demonstrator; a flamethrower is not the way to fend off ghetto rioters. Since the training emphasis for Army Guardsmen has been on weapons of war-for the federal role-it is no surprise that they were ill-prepared to cope with the summer's disturbances in America's city streets.

In both cities, the Guard lacked a clear-cut chain of command, suffered...

He won't shed any tears about the dearth of ball control as long as the scores run high, and that may continue for a long time...
During World War Two Nehemiah volunteered for service in the Jewish Brigade of the British army and fought the Germans in Italy. In 1948 he fought the Arabs from the trenches of his northern kibbutz. His war-time experience would be put to good use. During the Six Day conflict last June, he coordinated Ayeleth's defenses, consisting mostly of an elaborately trenched promontory of high land jutting into the Huleh basin. No attack ever came, thanks to the lightning victory of the Israeli army. But captured documents listed Ayeleth first on the Syrian plan of attack. Ayeleth controls...
