...only real offensive threat came after two minutes had been played. Crimson halfback Abi Azikiwe touched the ball in the penalty zone, giving the Terriers a free kick. But Mike Mutambiwra, the only B.U. player of any stature, muffed the shot, kicking the ball over the crossbar...
John Tyson, like Chickenman, seems to be "everywhere, everywhere." When Rucker juggled a 17-yard pass on the Harvard 11 in the second quarter, Tyson snatched it away and scampered 15 yards. When Thornton seemed about to waltz into the Crimson end-zone on a six-yard roll out around left end early in the fourth quarter, Tyson came from out of nowhere to drop him on the one-yard line. Driven almost by instinct on a second-and-8 play in the same quarter, Tyson moved up from safety to stop Smith's slant off tackle for no gain...
...left the three red hills of Con Thien a crater-pocked moonscape. Monsoon rains, a month ahead of their normal mid-October arrival, have churned the outpost into a quagmire reminiscent of Ypres in World War I. Everything must be brought into the outpost by helicopter to a landing zone grimly known as "Death Valley," or over the unpaved road from Cam Lo. Everything rots or mildews. The Marines at Con Thien live on C rations. Because water is scarce, they shave only every other day and can seldom wash...
...barrier that Defense Secretary Robert McNamara said would be constructed south of the DMZ. Already it is the western terminus of a 600-yd.-wide swath that was bulldozed for eleven miles through the scrub brush and elephant grass earlier in the year to serve as a free-fire zone in which anything that moves is shot at. Though details of the new barrier remain secret, it is assumed that it will be an extension of the present line over to the Laotian border. Thus it probably will be necessary for the Marines to hold Con Thien until combat engineers...
...single SST flying supersonic across the U.S., believes Shurcliff, would trail behind it a bang zone 50 miles wide that could destroy the peace of 20 million Americans. He also argues that competition from cheaper, larger "jumbo jets"-which will produce no sonic boom-could turn the SST venture into "a gigantic boomdoggle" with the taxpayers absorbing most of the loss. "We all believe in progress," he says for his group, "but some things just aren't progress. Aviation should be the servant of man, not his scourge...
