...picture of how-things-might-have-been that emerges from the relaxed mind of Gerald Ford, ensconced last week at the edge of Thunderbird's glorious fairways in Palm Springs. If he had been elected two years ago, Ford goes on, he would have kept the B-l bomber moving, gone ahead with the neutron bomb and the M-X missile. He also would have had less trouble than that fellow now in the White House in getting a Panama Canal treaty approved, in ending the Turkish arms embargo and in selling planes to Saudi Arabia...

Pug's immediate family is Navy all the weigh: at the Battle of Midway, Victor Henry commands the cruiser Northampton, while his son Warren is a dive-bomber pilot who helps to wound one of the Japanese carriers in that decisive victory at sea. Son Byron is in submarines. Daughter Madeline is in wartime show business, but she takes up with a young officer who just happens to be working on a Navy effort to enrich uranium...

...stand on defense budget cuts is typical. In the House he voted against the B-1 bomber and the neutron bomb, but also opposed efforts to cut defense-related jobs at the Mitre Corporation in Bedford, Lincoln Labs in Lexington, and Cambridge Research Laboratories at Hanscom Field. He also worked against attempts to close Fort Devens, and to remove funding for ballistic missile defense program research from the defense appropriations package...
