...York's brawniest unions marched and shouted, milled and sang in a massive display of gleeful patriotism and muscular pride. Basking in the ticker-tape approval of cheering office workers crowding high windows in buildings many of DAVID BURNETT them had helped erect beam by beam and load by load, the hardhatted construction workers, teamsters and longshoremen rallied through the streets of Lower Manhattan in probably the biggest pro-Government rally since the Viet Nam War began. With a crude and forceful clarity, they signaled their support of President Nixon's policies in Southeast Asia...
...seventy-five or eighty that are entered, and then the 500 mile race itself. For qualifications, the cars are set up to run around a two-and-a-half mile rectangular track as fast as they possibly can. Chassis are set up for optimum handling with a small fuel load and no regard for tire wear. Oxygen-bearing nitromethane is added in large quantities to the alcohol fuel, producing increased power and decreased engine life. No car could hope to finish the race in this condition, and after a car has qualified, the crew reworks the chassis to provide...
...fear that bordered on panic. "Each man made the judgment on his own that his life was in danger," said Canterbury. "I felt that I could have been killed out there." A number of the men believed that the crowd was going to engulf them, perhaps take away their loaded weapons and turn the M1s on the troopers. Some had been hurt by thrown objects-but none seriously enough to require hospitalization. Though the units had served in riot situations before, most of the lower-ranking enlisted men had no war experience. The Guardsmen at Kent had apparently not paid...
...same moment and stopped at the same moment. Many civilian spectators at the scene and some officials seeking to reconstruct the event are convinced that an order was given. And someone made the initial mistake of ordering live ammunition distributed to all the men and permitting them to load their rifles-a procedure that is contrary to regular Army practice in civil disturbances. Once weapons are loaded, says one Pentagon officer, "you have effectively lost control of that unit. You have given them the license to fire." The Ohio Guard officers contend that loaded weapons have a deterrent value...
...where the sun's scorching rays are concentrated into a blazing circle only twelve inches wide. Target material, hoisted into place by a ten-ton lift, is placed into an inclined trough-as the target melts, it runs off into catch pans. Another, more sophisticated technique is to load the material into two aluminum vats whose outer walls are water-cooled to prevent melting. Placed with their open ends at the focal point and rotated like washing machines to distribute the heat evenly, these containers can hold up to 21 tons of molten material at one time...
