Others raise doubts whether the autocratic military structure can ever permit a fair trial for Calley or anyone else who may be charged in the case. They suspect that the Army may well try to blame low-echelon officers in order to absolve the top brass-and to avoid an indictment of its conduct of the war in general...
...lose their Herr (meaning Mr.) as a result of a 1968 protest by a group of German noncoms who complained that such pompous jawbreakers as "Jawohl, Herr Oberstleutnant" were undemocratic.

Nor is it unprecedented. Hitler long ago banned Herr in his infamous SS corps, not out of a sense of egalitarianism but elitism-to set it apart from the rest of the German forces...
EDITORIAL BOARD: The Ed Board is looking for people who can write convincingly on any topics that interests some segment of the University community. Period. And that's a broad range of topics.

The first staffers arrive around 9 a.m., and shortly thereafter film crews are ordered out on the likeliest stories. Each morning Executive Producer Wallace Westfeldt attends a meeting with the NBC news brass, including President Reuven Frank. "But no one," says Westfeldt, "ever tells us what to run or what not to run." But, of course, certain prevailing assumptions, a certain atmosphere, almost unconsciously dictate decisions. Through the day, film arriving from all over the world is run off and edited. Late breaking...
