...military experts on Capitol Hill, than were McNamara's. Clifford emphatically endorsed a program of "nuclear superiority" vis-a-vis Russia; McNamara had advocated a program of "nuclear parity." Without committing himself, Clifford also supported such congressional pet projects -which McNamara opposed-as development of an advanced manned bomber to replace the B-52 and construction of a greatly expanded nuclear fleet of warships. He also expressed serious reservations about the politically unpopular plan once advocated by McNamara to merge the National Guard and the Army Reserves. Following his testimony, Clifford was unanimously endorsed by the committee, made...
...Social Democrats. Their leader, Hilmar Baunsgaard, 48, was summoned at week's end to Christiansborg Palace by King Frederik IX to form a new government. Baunsgaard has displayed a pacifistic aversion to NATO, but he profited only slightly from the election-eve crash of a U.S. nuclear bomber in Danish-owned Greenland. He must form a coalition with other center parties, who undoubtedly will compel him to keep Denmark on its pro-Western course...
Strip See-Throughs. Lanai deals with the would-be starlets of Hollywood, but the artist builds it around an upside-down Buick to suggest both physical extravagance and social mobility.

The major, with his right leg and left arm severely fractured, lay in a hospital bed, and talked about the war. Nervous, with his face showing the strain, he said he hoped the war could be "terminated"--he spoke almost throughout in military jargon. He said he agreed with the "Kennedy, Fulbright, Mansfield position," that we "need to take another look in regards to our Vietnamese policy." What about draft-card burners...
...each of the 30 types of missions, from reconnaissance to rescue operations, that are flown over North Viet Nam. He has also made it a point to fly in every kind of U.S. aircraft in use in Asia, from little Cessna spotter planes to the fleet F-4 fighter-bomber. Only Momyer himself can call off a search-and-rescue effort for a downed U.S. pilot, and he refuses to leave his combat center until he has made that grim decision, even if it means pacing the floor through an entire night...
