...Love You." Cullen's rescue was a dramatic but by no means unique example of a highly effective U.S. operation in Viet Nam. Since last October, when the Fifth Air Rescue Detach ment was set up at South Viet Nam's Danang airbase with Albatrosses and H43-F "Huskie" helicopters, as many as 15 U.S. and South Vietnamese pilots have been plucked from Red-infested jungles in Viet Nam and Laos and from waters off the coast; the exact figure is classified. In the series of raids against North Viet Nam since last Feb. 7, the efficient rescuers...
...spends the next 60 to 70 days in its mother's pouch, firmly and continuously attached to her breast. During that period, it grows and behaves much as a human embryo in normal gestation. Marquardt researchers are already well acquainted with the opossum, having learned how to detach the tiny fetus from the mother's breast to feed it artificially. Mixing drugs with the food, the researchers should be able to observe firsthand their effects on a growing fetus...
When the erratic Aaron Burr started recruiting men in Louisiana for some mysterious purpose, most likely an invasion of Mexico, Jefferson panicked.

Three Hits. Why should tektites and impactites have the same ages? One explanation, think Fleischer and Price, is that when very large meteors hit the moon they do more than splash out molten moon-rock that falls to earth as small, harmless tektites. They also detach large chunks of the lunar crust heavy enough to blast craters and form impactite when they hit the earth's surface. This has happened, the scientists think, at least three times in rather recent geological history. And they suspect that a lot of moon-stuff will be found on earth as soon...
...grand disregard for the peace-seeking efforts of the U.N. Neither Egypt nor Saudi Arabia has honored its pledge, which both made earlier this year under U.S. mediation pressure, to disengage simultaneously from Yemen. Although Nasser has sent home six shiploads of troops, he has rotated in fresh detach ments, and at least 20,000 Egyptian soldiers are still in Yemen propping up the republican regime of President Ab dullah Sallal. All the while, money and munitions from the monarchies of Saudi Arabia and Jordan still pour across the 25-mile-wide buffer zone to royalist tribesmen supporting dethroned Imam...
