...raids. Despite what he called a "strong recommendation" from General Creighton Abrams, the U.S. commander in Viet Nam, Laird suggested reducing B-52 sorties by more than 10%, from 1,800 to 1,600 per month. The savings would come chiefly in the planes' 30-ton bomb loads, which cost $42,000. There would be little tactical impact; probably the same number of B-52 missions will be flown as before, but they may involve five planes rather than the standard...
...against other national needs, and priorities must be assigned. If McNamara's doctrine of the "worst plausible case" were applied in every case, the nation would soon be broke or all its citizens would be huddling in a continent-wide bomb shelter?or both. With defense spending running at $80 billion, and with the services requesting enough in new weapons to offset most of the savings that would be achieved by peace in Viet Nam, there must obviously be some hard thinking about where to draw the line...
This scene, or something like it, expresses what is obviously a widespread current sex fantasy. Every so often, the movie business feels the need to create a new character-part joke, part sex bomb, seducible, available, palpable-to enliven the daydreams of the American male.

...clear that to the new extremists, the enemy is not the conservative or the reactionary but the liberal. John Bunzel, a liberal political scientist at San Francisco State College, has been repeatedly shouted down in class; his two cars have been smeared with paint and their tires slashed; a bomb was placed outside his office. An S.D.S. student told him why: "You are a perfect symbol. You are over 40, you are white, and you have a doctor of philosophy degree. You are visible, in that you speak your mind in public. You are committed to reason. Your arguments...
...protesters swarmed into the president's office, smashed newsmen's tape recorders, threatened secretaries. The reason? They wanted five students who had been suspended in a previous disturbance to be reinstated. Damage has been done to people as well as property. In the act of setting a bomb in the Creative Arts Building at San Francisco State College this month, a 19-year-old student was blinded and maimed. A security guard at the same college is still hospitalized from an injury suffered in an earlier bomb blast. Ghetto and campus violence seemed to coalesce at the University...
