...seem to assume that all our wars, including Viet Nam, may be regarded in the same context. Have you forgotten the Bomb? We are now flirting with global nuclear war. We are placing ourselves and the rest of the world in great jeopardy. We do this by not facing the facts, however unpleasant: China is the great power in Asia and she cannot be contained by us; Communism and nationalism are inseparably fused in Viet Nam, and the fusion will not disappear short of genocide. We feel ourselves called upon to destroy the Communist philosophy by war. This is impossible...
Meet Gary Beban, or as he is known to adoring Bruin fans, the Great One. Outside of his bowlegged running style (the better to evade enemy tacklers with) and outsize hands (the better to throw "the bomb" with), there is nothing physically remarkable about Beban; he stands an even 6 ft. and weighs 195 Ibs.

The most determined opponent of sonic boom-and of the nation's plans to build a supersonic transport (SST)-is Harvard Physicist William Shurcliff, 58, who worked on the atomic bomb with Vannevar Bush, and is now senior research associate at the Cambridge Electron Accelerator. Six months ago, Shurcliff, with nine friends, founded the Citizen's League Against the Sonic Boom, and membership has since grown to 1,320 in 45 states. In letters to members and newspaper ads, Shurcliff has propounded his fears that the SST might ultimately be permitted to fly at supersonic...
