...Definite Attack. Then, about 36 hours after he was hospitalized, Ike suffered a more prolonged and painful wave of chest pains. A new air of gloom swept the hospital. Doctors moved their patient back into the oxygen tent, continued to treat him (as they had from the start) as if he had had "a full-blown heart attack." After another batch of tests, they announced that the general had indeed been struck by another definite heart attack...
Suddenly the Viet Cong ceased firing. In the abrupt hush, bugles sounded, and the Communists charged. It was their first mistake, for it gave the U.S. marksmen their first clear targets and they mowed down wave after wave of the attackers. "The right squad alone was knocking 'em down 30 at a time," recounted the company commander. Four hours later, the Americans, now grown to two badly mauled companies, set up a defensive perimeter atop a hill-enough to hold off the far bigger V.C. force until artillery and tactical-air support could move in. At last the Viet...
Proving Alfvén's assumption would be just as difficult as disproving it. Spectral lines emitted from antimatter stars or galaxies would be of the same wave length as radiation from their material counterparts, making them useless for identifying distant antimatter. On the other hand, one unmistakable characteristic of matter and antimatter is that whenever the two meet they annihilate each other. This leads Alfvén to concede that two bodies in the solar system-the moon and the sun-are indisputedly composed of matter. There was no annihilatory reaction when Soviet and U.S. rockets...

...drilling platform went into position more than two months ago, 70 miles off the coast of Britain in the bleak, inhospitable waters of the North Sea. Crammed into submarine-tight quarters at night, buffeted by wind and wave, 36 men worked in staggered shifts, 20 hours a day, seven days a week, to keep the drill boring slowly into the sea floor beneath. Last week the punishing grind paid off: the rig's owner, Continental Oil Co. of England (a subsidiary of the U.S.'s Conoco), struck a promising, 64-ft.-thick pocket of natural gas that...
