...reason for this dramatic reduction is a considerable improvement in the fighting man's lot. Hot meals almost daily, swift evacuation of the wounded by helicopter, regular periods of R and R (rest and recreation) far from the battle zone, steady troop rotation-all these, by contributing to the soldier's peace of mind, have helped prevent mental wounds.

But the stubborn persistence of price increases is straining the patience of consumers, labor leaders, businessmen and members of Congress. With increasing urgency, critics are demanding that Nixon "do something"-that is, something more. They propose wholesale slashes in the federal budget, a return to wage and price guidelines, or even severe wartime controls...
