...Greece, The First 100 Days" [Aug. 4]: You, like many other American writers, indicate that you feel the Greek coup was a big mistake and that Greece has taken away the freedom of the people. In reality, the Greeks acted aggressively against Communism which was gaining too much power in Greece. I say it was best to clean house now instead of later. You see, this is a long-range cleaning up, but the end result should be shining and new and for the better. It is better to have a temporary lack of freedom than to wait until...

Let him remember that the "military caste system" Miss Woodham-Smith so coldly indicts produced, along with all the other "rank incompetents," such commanders as Marlborough, Wolfe, Wellington-and, indeed, Washington...
...likely to remain the heavy favorites. Although they are not campaigning with the civilians, they are showing no signs of complacency. Last week Ky helicoptered from one Mekong Delta hamlet to another, snipped a ribbon that officially reopened the long-besieged Mang Thit-Nicolai canal (TIME, Aug. 11), handed out gifts of U.S. outboard motors and blankets, chatted with the villagers. He was not campaigning, Ky said with a straight face. He was only doing his duty as Premier...
