Simple Uncle Sap-ism? No; other new attitudes, drawn from two decades of experience, have clarified the giver-getter relationship. Only the naive among the givers expect lavish thanks; only the naive among the getters darkly suspect concealed U.S. motives. The U.S. now knows that arm twisting by withdrawing aid rarely works-and it usually knows better than to let foreign governments attempt aid-or-else blackmail. Moreover, the U.S. has backed away from any grandiose dreams of remaking the world; receiving nations nonetheless candidly want a large helping of U.S. machines, techniques and comforts...
Nicholas Gray, as Reetchie, has a more difficult role. The pain and anguish of the lonely suffering in the desert come through clearly; the make-up is effective and it is easy to believe that the piece of skin he tears off his arm is real. But it is difficult to see God coming out of the ordeal...
...this time with 77 tons of bombs. The prime targets now lie closer to Hanoi, and there last week the U.S. lost another fighter-bomber to North Vietnamese surface-to-air missiles. Cruising along some 50 miles southwest of Hanoi with three other jets on what pilots call an "armed wreck" (armed reconnaissance), a Navy A-4 Skyhawk felt the long arm of SAM-just as an Air Force Phantom had on July 24.

When the orchestra finally sounded the first notes of the fanfare, there were 70,000 people in the Sheep...
...playing with a hairline fracture of the right wrist. Outfielder Tony Oliva was nursing a chipped knuckle in his right hand. Catcher Earl Battey had a strained back. Worse still, Ace Pitcher Camilo Pascual had to go to the hospital for surgery on torn muscles in his right arm pit. And then, last week -good grief! First Baseman Harmon Killebrew, Mele's star player-he is tied for the league lead in home runs (22) and third in runs batted in (70)-collided with a base runner and dislocated his left elbow. Killebrew's arm was encased...
