Whatever the immediate demands of Viet Nam, the U.S. cannot afford to ignore the ever-changing nature of the wars that it may face a decade hence. Last week, in an unusually frank exposition of American strategy for the 1970s, Secretary of Defense McNamara discussed the potential threats and the retaliatory measures that dominate Pentagon planning...
...winning strategy for the Crimson could be to use a full-court press constantly. This may seem an absurd suggestion, since Neuman is easily the best ball handler in the backcourt with Gene Dressler, George Neville, Bob Beller, and Jeff Grate. With this depth, Harvard can afford to press and probably wear down Neuman and Pawlak. Besides, if Penn is able to get the ball downcourt Tom Mallison (6-10). Frank Burgess (6-9), and John Hellings (6-8) can murder Harvard under the boards...
Tighter Space. "We are a rich nation," Johnson emphasized, "and can afford to make progress at home while meeting obligations abroad." Nonetheless, he conceded, "the rate of advance in the new programs has been held below what might have been." While non-military spending will total $52.3 billion, an increase of $2.5 billion, the war on poverty was allotted only $1.6 billion instead of the hoped-for $2.5 billion. Federal spending outside the war, Great Society programs, and interest on the national debt will be trimmed by $2.3 billion. One notable victim is the space program, which will receive...

This is what the reporters have proposed and why I am opposed to their...
...lady crackled, "To hell with the money. I want my husband's jewels back." Since she scarcely counts all her fives and dimes, Woolworth Heiress Barbara Mutton, 53, could afford to be cavalier about the cash. Anyway, the thieves who broke into her $1,500,000 mansion near Cuernavaca, Mexico, took only $20,240-and most of that was in traveler's checks. What burned Babs was that they footpadded off with the "irreplaceable" jewel collection of her seventh husband, Laotian Prince Raymond Doan Vinh Na Champassak. The princess felt so sentimental about the necklace with the gold...
