...Army's slow-moving and presumably painstaking investigation into the killing of South Vietnamese civilians at My Lai is beginning to climb the chain of command. The Army charged Lieut. William L. Calley Jr., leader of a platoon that swept through the village on March 16, 1968, with the murder of 102 people. Three enlisted men in Galley's unit were also accused. Last week Calley's immediate superior at the time, Captain Ernest Medina, commanding officer of C Company in the American Division's 11th Infantry Brigade, was charged with murdering four civilians and assaulting...
...Columbia University. At this moment, a woman identified as Mrs. Jeanette Cohen was heard to cry: "That the police should do this to such boys! They are all ninety percenters, A minus at the least." The police, most of them from lower-middle-class backgrounds where the status climb stopped with the civil service, had a slightly different view. To many of them, "such boys" were a puzzling, infuriating, foulmouthed, cop-baiting bunch of nigger-loving, Commie-Jew bastards...
Scientists have somewhat lamely avoided the question by suggesting that Pteranodon plunged off high cliffs in order to build up sufficient air speed for its gliding flight. But if it could not regain altitude in flight, how did it climb back to the cliff top again on its woefully inadequate legs? And how did it take off from the water after fishing...
Amply basted, you are sent to bake in the Herbal Wrap Room, a darkened chamber with a flickering brick fireplace. As you climb onto a bed, you are rolled like a tortilla into sheets soaked in a steaming brew of "21 exotic Oriental herbs." When done to a spicy turn, you plop into a hydrother-apeutic bath frothing with sesquicar-bonates, lithium chloride, magnesium sulfate, hexachlorophene-everything, presumably, but cyclamates. BELLY BUDGETING. More appetizing recipes are offered in the spa's dietetic dining room. There guests bend over their menus like accountants, busily subtracting a prune whip (40 calories...
...early 1970s will amount to about 10 million cars a year. American Motors' Chairman Roy Chapin expects that sales of imports over the next several years will decline from the 1,000,000 of 1969 to about 750,000, and that the market for subcompacts will climb to some 800,000. "The emphasis on smaller cars," says Chapin, "will come from all directions -traffic congestion, rising costs, multiple-car families. Our products, we believe, are right on target." Now the whole industry is zeroing in on that target...
