...emergency supplies. The U.S. Air Force, which once saved Berlin with slow-moving EUR-475 and EUR-545, now has five to seven times the airlift capacity of a decade ago, with its swift C-13O turboprops and slow but massive (56,000-lb. capacity) EUR-1245. During bad weather, nearby Soviet transmitters might try to jam the radar landing facilities at Berlin's famed Tempelhof Airport, but the annoyance would not be significant, and U.S. antijamming equipment might make it all but unnoticeable...
Other nations-notably the U.S., Russia, France, Britain, Italy, Japan, Canada and Australia-have fired weather rockets. But Shavit was the first fired by any Middle Eastern country, and a tremor of alarm ran through Israel's Arab neighbors (the Arabs suffered a similar tremor seven months ago when Israel admitted it was constructing a 24,000-kw. nuclear reactor). Presumably, any nation that can send a rocket winging 50 miles up for wind data can readjust its flight for military purposes. Jordan's Prime Minister Bahjat Talhouni said his government was "extremely concerned...
...ranging from the 500-mile, solid-fuel Pershing down to the Davy Crockett, which can be carried by two G.I.s. The Marine Corps will increase in size from 175,000 to 190,000 men, get two new battalions, two new helicopter squadrons, and more A4D attack bombers and all-weather F4H fighter bombers for close air support. In testimony before a House subcommittee, Marine Commandant General David Shoup complained: "We have more fight than we can ferry." To ferry in marines and G.I.s when the brush fires begin to burn, the bill calls for 119 new null...
...this week, the Steel Pier moved into the full swing of its 64th season, so big and boffo that only the Atlantic Ocean can compete with it for the attention of tourists. The pier draws a steady 15,000 people a day, up to 28,000 when the weather stops on double zero. They are what Owner George Hamid calls the "high blue collar types." To keep them coming, Hamid gives them much more than corny carny fare, pays top fees for entertainment headliners. Among this season's top drawers: the Stan Kenton and Glenn Miller bands, Xavier Cugat...
...Watch what happens when it warms up," said Detroit Pitching Coach Tom Ferrick late this spring. "The bats get a little slower, and the home-run production falls off." But last week, as spring bowed out to summer, major league sluggers, far hotter than the weather, kept whaling home runs at a prodigious pace (TIME, June 23). In six days they belted 120, boosted the season total for both leagues...
