Three Canadian newspapers-the Toronto, Ont., Globe and Mail, the Kingston, Ont., Whig-Standard and the Regina, Sask., Leader-Post-dropped the pig-goat sequence. (As a substitute the Globe and Mail reprised a Pogo swampland series from the 1940s.) In the U.S., the Toledo Blade temporarily killed Kelly. And in Tokyo, the English language Asahi Evening News, having run the sequence for 11 days, agreed to drop the rest of it after a protest from the Soviet embassy...
...inch the professional soldier. Under him serve some 5,000 U.S. troops (soon to be raised to 8,000) including the U.S. Special Forces, who are all volunteers, all former paratroopers.

One pilot taped a hacksaw blade to the sole of his foot; he was convinced that there would be enough shot-down U.S. flyers wandering around the Rumanian countryside "to call a general election, vote the Germans out, and make peace with the Allies...

In the past, he and Defense Minister Krishna Menon have described the aggressions as "minor and petty," called the area occupied by the Chinese only "barren mountaintops where not even a blade of grass grows."
