...political and military operations in the southern half of South Viet Nam. COSVN has a staff of 2,300 who man an elaborate series of bureaucratic "sections." Yet it is no Pentagon; to confound allied intelligence, its staff moves regularly from bunker to concrete bunker, hidden under the thick jungle canopy. The "floating crap game," as COSVN is known in Saigon, is often widely dispersed. As they searched for it, the troops found elaborate underground bunkers almost everywhere they turned: plucking a pineapple from the ground at an innocent-looking farm in the Fishhook, an astonished G.I. discovered that...
Today, as president and producer of the circus, Feld keeps on talent hunting despite cataracts that force him to wear glasses as thick as Coke-bottle bottoms; an aide usually walks with him lest he trip over rigging hidden in the circus sawdust. Feld's major concerns today include quickening the pace of his Red and Blue shows; both are already trimmed to about two hours and 55 minutes. He is also moving into the merchandising of some 200 Ringling Bros.-labeled products from bed sheets to vitamins-an operation that will add at least...
Since late 1962, Charnley has used the polyethylene socket, which is also cemented in place with methyl methacrylate. In an intensive follow-up of his first 500 cases, Charnley has found the cement holding perfectly. The polyethylene, originally 10 mm. thick, wears away at the rate of about 1 mm. in five years.

Then, in May, 1968, 25 men were trapped for ten days in a mine at Hominy Falls: Four died. The rest came out, in a spectacular resence heavily covered by the national press. Suddenly people were aware ? a little-of hard times in the mines. And West Virginia miners were getting together to form the Black Lung Association. They covered the state, working with Dr. Buff and building up organizational strength...
Public Process. Materials for the new sculptures included eleven huge concrete blocks weighing as much as 1,500 lbs. apiece, 15 two-in.-thick steel plates weighing between 2,400 lbs. and 4,000 lbs. each and 80 unwieldy wooden beams of the type that carried traffic on Manhattan's Sixth Avenue during recent subway construction. To make room, the Whitney cleared away all the partitions in its 108-ft.-long third-floor gallery. As workmen moved in with gantries, forklifts and hydraulic jacks to help Morris do his thing, the museum took on the look of a midtown...
