While the U.S. military has traditionally stressed stoical resistance and ideological conviction as the best defense against Communist brainwashing, others have begun to take a different approach. Social Scientist Albert Biderman, for example, thinks that the typical serviceman's lack of ideology may be his strongest defense. The P.O.W. who "plays it cool," who makes superficial compromises without giving too much away, is sometimes the toughest to crack. Often those who resist most strenuously ultimately break down most completely...
...more than a year, pilots of commercial flights serving the southeastern U.S. have carried in their chart bags an approach map for Havana's Jose Marti International Airport, showing electronic navigation aids and the course for an instrument landing approach. The Federal Aviation Agency's Miami Traffic Control Center notifies Havana of the skyjacking. An official of the Swiss embassy in Washington-which handles U.S. diplomatic contacts with Fidel Castro's Cuba-fills in the blanks on a prepared form asking the Cubans for prompt release of the aircraft and its passengers.

No one has attempted to disarm a skyjacker. A single bullet fired through the fuselage of a pressurized airliner will not necessarily result in explosive decompression, but one shot in the instrument-packed cockpit could bring disaster even if none of the crew were...

Last year, for example, at the suggestion of some Boston Jews, a group of Negro tenement dwellers presented their grievances against their Jewish landlord to a beth din, or religious court. "This was a bunch of very old guys who haven't read James Baldwin or Rap Brown," says Boston's Leonard Fein, "and they wouldn't know a social-action council if they fell over...
...more permissive view may well be taken by the Nixon Administration's newly named chief trustbuster, Richard W. McLaren, a Chicago lawyer who headed the American Bar Association's antitrust division. McLaren says that his approach will be to "look at performance as well as structure" and fol low the "rule of reason." He thus echoes Stanley Barnes, the Eisenhower Administration's activist antitrust chief...
