Rarely had Hollywood, which knows something about such things, witnessed such a spectacle of eye gouging, groin kicking and neck chopping. To a lavishly mirrored studio on Los Angeles' South La Cienega Boulevard last week came a pack of TV and film stars to watch an exhibition of the latest fad in craze-crazy filmland: karate. A more violent cousin of jujitsu and judo, Japanese-imported karate (pronounced kah-rah-tay) aims at delivering a fatal or merely maiming blow with hand, finger, elbow or foot, adopts the defensive philosophy that an attacker deserves something more memorable than...

...scheduled to occupy under the original independence agreement. Drilling the Congolese army day after day, a handful of returned Belgian army officers last week turned it out 3,000 strong for a snappy if belated Armistice Day parade.

Certainly if we were to awaken one morning to an unarmed world we'd probably have that walking-down-Hollywood-Boulevard-in-the-altogether feeling. However, Mr. White is, I think, oversimplifying. The very fact that we are in the atomic age defeats his argument. As more and more nations acquire the know-how and or the weapons themselves, the logarithm of danger will increase. We cannot be sure even today that "some...
