...Arrow Tattoo. The 32nd is a crack outfit. It earned its shoulder patch, a red arrow piercing a battle line, in the Meuse-Argonne during World War I. Its first casualties were suffered when the troopship Tuscania was sunk by a German submarine. In World War II the Red Arrow Division fought its way from Buna to Saidor to Hollandia to Aitape to Luzon in 654 combat days-more than any other army unit in the nation's history. Along the way its men won n Congressional Medals of Honor, 49 Legions of Merit, 153 Distinguished Service Crosses...

In the audience, half the town roars with pride-the other half is in the play...
...sheiks poured in from the desert wastes of Kuwait last week in their two-toned American sedans, sitting on the back seats clutching rifles between their knees. Their bodyguards wore pistols in heavy holsters that sagged down to their knees, and the bullets in the bandoleers had been filed arrow-sharp. Almost all of Kuwait's tiny, 1,600-man army of tough Bedouins roared up to the northern bor der with Iraq in British-built armored cars, thoroughly alarmed at reports that Iraq was massing tanks just across the border. Only six days after Kuwait declared itself...
...Jung never shrank from death, but with his powerful constitution and ever-young, inquiring mind, he held it long at bay. Last week, in the willow-shaded seclusion of his home at Küsnacht, on Lake Zurich, the long-poised arrow flew to its target. Death came peacefully, just short of his 86th birthday, to Carl Gustav Jung -the last survivor of psychology's Big Three and of the great feuds that raged among them...
