Continental's find is the third such discovery in as many months in the British sector of the North Sea. Since 1959, when Esso and Shell discovered the mammoth Groningen gas field on the Dutch coastal plain, fuel-needy Europeans-and an international array of ambitious oilmen-have suspected that the world's biggest bubble of natural gas may lie beneath the North Sea. Except for one inconclusive well drilled off The Netherlands last year, that dream was long based on geological speculation and nurtured largely by faith...
...Gadgetry. Also at work for the U.S. in Viet Nam is an array of ingenious gadgetry that smacks of baling wire-and of Buck Rogers. Puff the Magic Dragon is an old C-47 transport rigged with three 7.62 Gatling-type guns -each a fascine of six machine-gun barrels. In the time it takes to say "puff," the Dragon can spit 300 bullets at Viet Cong on the ground. "It's a solid bar of fire," explains a U.S. officer, "and the noise is a terrible roar."

Daimler-Benz introduced a new Mercedes, the 250 S, which still bears a strong family resemblance but is longer, lower and rounder. Italy was represented by a glittering array of high-priced Ferraris, Maseratis and Alfa Romeos as well as by the nimble, lower-priced Fiats. As always, the Rolls-Royce exhibit drew large crowds. They may have been looking at a dying swan. The rumor in Britain is that at the London auto show next month the company...
With such an impressive array of accomplishments going for him, Allen, 54, who ran the South's largest office-supply firm before he became mayor, was so confident of re-election this month that he even predicted his percentage of the vote: 72%. For a while, in fact, it looked as if Allen would get 100%. Until the last filing day for the election, he was the only mayoralty candidate. Then, five minutes before the deadline, in jumped Milton M. ("Muggsy") Smith, 63, an Atlanta insurance salesman who made a name during 16 years in the state legislature trying...
