Last week cannons at Kaneohe Ma rine Air Station on Hawaii thundered a 15-gun farewell to the Brute, now 55, who was calling it quits after 34 years. A Distinguished Service Medal, Krulak's second, was added to the rainbow of ribbons on his chest. Watching were Krulak's three sons-a Navy chaplain and two Marine officers who have all served in Viet Nam. Between them, the Krulaks have won 49 medals...
...candidate also can-and does-leak his private polls to the press, particularly when they show him ahead. A favorable poll more than pays for its cost (about $10,000 for a medium-sized state) by swelling the campaign war chest. Says Nixon: "When the polls go good for me, the cash register really rings."

Nicks showed no brain-wave activity and had had no reflexes for hours before his doctors shut off the machine that had been oxygenating the blood in his lungs. There...
...Bleustein-Blanchet took a tentative step toward sex in an advertising campaign for Rosy brassieres. The original ad showed little more than a woman's torso, with the arms folded discreetly across the chest. But the campaign's success-sales of Rosy bras have increased fivefold-has convinced French admen that frankness can bring in the francs. As a result, their ads have been getting increasingly more daring. A recent Rosy ad, for example, pictures a woman wearing a lacy bra, but otherwise she is bare to well below the navel; partially visible behind...
