Last November Secretary of Defense McNamara decided to cancel the development of the Skybolt air-to-ground missile. After making the announcement to the press in early December, McNamara flew to England to explain his decision to British Defense Minister Thorneycroft, who flatly informed McNamara that such a move was wholly unacceptable. During the following week the British press blasted the Kennedy Administration for its tactlessness and infidelity. Stunned government officials, including a large number of M.P.'s, began talking of reprisals and an "agonizing reappraisal" of Anglo-American relations.

Boston University has agreed to cancel sailing from March 15 to May 15 any day when an actual crew race is scheduled, but Thomas D. Bolles, director of Athletics, said yesterday that the B.U. sailboats will make daily crew practice much more difficult...

There is no golf course, but a variety of unsurpassed beaches...
...Kennedy confidence is also plainly apparent in his recent conduct of foreign policy. He led the U.S. into confrontation with Khrushchev over Cuba without consulting the nation's Allies. His decision to cancel the Skybolt missile program, upon which Britain had based its nuclear hopes, was independently made and brusquely carried out. He thinks it is nonsense for U.S. Allies to want independent nuclear forces, although he has not yet convinced-if that is the word-France's Charles de Gaulle of this...
