...Electric Corp. from 1929 to 1945, a Pittsburgh lawyer who guided the firm through the Depression into the spectacular growth years of World War II, tripling its sales with new consumer appliances (dishwashers, electric ranges), the first industrial atom smasher (the 1937 Van de Graaff generator) and a vast array of defense equipment; of a stroke; in Pittsburgh...
...jack-in-the-box. "Jumping is not an end in itself," Kehlet explains. "How you get up there and how you get back is not important. It's what you do when you're up there that counts." What he does way up there is a dazzling array of splits, scissors, heel slappings and twisting jackknives, all in keeping with the character. Earthbound, he stirs the air around him into an eddy of excitement. And always, his Puckish face is stamped with the infectious grin of a lad having a smashing good time...

Except for one inconclusive well drilled off The Netherlands last year, that dream was long based on geological speculation and nurtured largely by faith...

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." The Lightning Bug is a UH-1B helicopter fitted with seven...
