Baker could count at least twelve firm votes last week, and had a chance of capsizing Scott by picking up half a dozen undecided votes as well as support from Hruska's conservatives. Then Hruska, the third declared candidate, decided to drop out of the race and throw his support behind Baker. That left Baker and Scott in something close to a dead heat...
...more important is ARVN morale. For many South Vietnamese soldiers, military duty may begin at the age of 18 and end at 40-if they survive that long. Unmarried infantrymen earn a bare dollar a day.

Sad to say, the minority of truly non-Hitlerite Germans have taken little part in the life of West Germany from 1945 until today. "Ohne mich" ("Count me out") was, and is. their slogan, and their withdrawal represents an active personal judgment on the corruption of most of their countrymen. The postwar emigration of many such Germans, says FitzGibbon, represents a permanent loss to Germany. The reproach of the count-me-outers, alas, has not kept the convicted...
