...disrupted Jewish life in the cities, where most Jews continue to live. When they demand law and order, they are not speaking in code but citing sheer need.

As White House Aide Pat Buchanan rather bluntly put it: "The Jews have started to react to social engineering the way other ethnics have. They're protective of their turf...
Monday's carping would be of little significance were it not for other signs. President Nixon himself recently bemoaned "the tendency of some in the media-not all, but some in the media-constantly to emphasize the negative."

The Navy opened fire, sinking three and possibly four of the vessels, and damaging two more...
...officers and enlisted men alike sport beards, waxed mustaches and hair long enough to have put them on report three years ago. The chief disciplinary problems are drug abuse and racial tension, though in scope they barely match similar problems suffered in the Army. Boredom is pervasive. As one Buchanan sailor puts it: "I sometimes go topside and stand at the rail, watching the moon on the water. I just stand there for hours like some damn U.S.O...
