...seems to be their editorial stance that too much literacy is a sign of weakness. One caption says that the U.S. had won the Vietnam war but "lost it during the Paris Peace Conference and with the help of gutless Congress." Most of the articles carry the reader along with violence or sensationalism. Features on weapons are geared to lure gun fanatics the way Motor Trend courts auto freaks. They go into exquisite detail.

Meanwhile, Movie Stars Robert Wagner and Natalie Wood won a suit against Reveille, a British picture magazine that had claimed they were headed for a second divorce.
