Hand-carried, cheap (average cost: $150) antitank rockets, which are now standard equipment for every infantry squad in the Warsaw Pact armies, rip through the Bradley's aluminum armor like a welder's torch. Unlike steel, the aluminum vaporizes and burns, adding immense heat to the explosion inside and producing a fireball. That is not a theoretical danger. The M113 also is made of aluminum, and M113s carrying Israeli troops went up in flames in Lebanon. During the invasion, Israeli troops rode on the exposed areas of the M113-not inside it.

...like squad. But even residents bitter about the prospect of black neighbors are, for the most part, unhysterical. "We don't want them living here," a Western Electric worker says, "but I don't think we'd have shooting or anything like that."

Sure enough, there in the prison shop were a three-wheel gocart, a motorcycle engine, a rear rotor blade-in short, more or less everything needed to build a helicopter except the main overhead blade. The criminal masterminds were a welder, a plumber and an electrician serving long sentences in maximum security. Warden George Sumner contends that the plot would never have flown anyway: "If they had tried to take off, they were right in front of Tower One here, and they would've been shot down...
...successful vaccine would finally put an end to the age-old taint that lepers bear. Even today, patients, though treated and no longer contagious, carry the onus. "I feel ashamed," says Leni Ignosta, 20, a Los Angeles welder who contracted leprosy five years ago in Samoa before moving to the U.S. "I don't want anybody to know I have it, not even my family. I wanted to stay in the U.S., but I think I'll go back to Samoa and live by myself...
