Apart from Kuntze's blatant indiscretion the prosecution was plainly a reflection of the Administration's growing concern over the serious leakage of stores in Viet Nam, an obvious target for Republican criticism in the next Congress. Just as clearly, the Navy's delicate handling of the case showed its reluctance to implicate any highly placed Vietnamese officials who might have a more lucrative interest in logistics. As for Jannie Suen, Captain Kuntze's original sin, naval intelligence solemnly reported that she had disappeared without trace...
...Florida law's words, "malicious and mischievous," narrowed its scope to one offense: willful trespass. Not only were the students guilty of just that, he said, but there was "not a shred of evidence" that the sheriff objected to their protest for any reason other than his legitimate concern for jail security. "Nothing in the Constitution of the United States," said Black, "prevents Florida from evenhanded enforcement of its general trespass statute . . .

Shallot of the Month. If 1966 is the year that everyone seems to be cooking in the kitchen with Julia, this is partially because Julia is just right for the times.

Herbert Schiller of the University of Illinois speaks for most of his colleagues when he says flatly: "We won't be overwhelmed by the disaster aspects of waste." Not only is the U.S. constantly developing substitutes (aluminum for iron, oil for coal, synthetic fabrics for wool), but detection and discovery techniques have so greatly improved that the reserves known to be available are actually larger than before...
...words of text-is both a pictorial record of Duncan's work and an autobiography. It shows most strikingly that Duncan the word chronicler is not as interesting as Duncan the photographer, if only because he exposes, like Halliburton, much more of his emotions and his self-concern than the reader cares to know. Characteristically, he dedicates the book to both his ex-wife and his present wife, then goes on to present dozens of documents, letters and telegrams that he collected or sent through the years. He even includes his certificate of commission as a lieutenant...
