...military men also voice dissent. British Admiral of the Fleet Sir Peter Hill-Norton dismisses the neutron bomb as "sexy for the media [but] a new dimension of warfare that we do not want to go into." The Dutch are attempting to keep the bomb out of the NATO arsenal and Christian Democratic Leader Willem Aantjes declared last week that the false report of Carter's decision was "extremely good news" because "the introduction of new weapons has only resulted in the intensification of the arms race." The French, who twelve years ago withdrew from the command structure...

...there was a growing revulsion against contamination by radioactive debris from extremely "dirty" nuclear tests in the atmosphere. Also, a low-yield bomb fitted in neatly with the limited-war concepts that were then being explored by the Eisenhower Administration. Some Pentagon strategists wanted to include in their nuclear arsenal a relatively small weapon that could be used tactically by troops in the field against a potential aggressor without causing incalculable havoc among civilian populations...

Since the 1973 war, the U.S. has pumped $10 billion worth of aid into Israel, more than half of it in military equipment, including the latest and most sophisticated weapons in the U.S. arsenal. Israel today is 60% stronger than it was in 1973, in terms of armaments, while Egypt is 10% weaker.

...down on his mendacious luck, John Cullum looks and cavorts rather like a Barrymore run off by a slightly defective duplicating machine. To make a comeback, he must sign Lily Garland, the woman he catapulted to stardom, to a stage contract. In that role, Madeline Kahn displays an arsenal of talents. She is kooky, vulnerable and seductive in succession, and her voice has a near operatic authority. As a religious nut, the Imogene Coca you get is the Coca that refreshes. Cy Coleman's score is clickety-clack in its monotony. Well, there is al ways the razzle-dazzle...

...always the Crimson's arsenal of bionic freshmen supplied the lion's share of the team's points. Backstroker Geoff Seelen stroked 200 yards to yet another impressive victory in a time of 1:58.07. Finnish phenomenon Tuomo Kerola frogkicked to his usual 200-yd. breaststroke triumph in 2:13.57. And of course, all-world Bobby Hackett whipped the field in the 200 freestyle...
