Even as the nation custom tailors new weapons for the particular problems of war in Viet Nam, armament engineers are busily fashioning others to help deter future conflicts. Last week the Pentagon showed off the latest results of both efforts...
...lead spies, Bill Cosby and Bob Gulp. The Monkees' story line defies logic, but the show is a hit with the kids. U.N.C.L.E. swings chiefly through gimmickry aided by action-not to mention what Keld calls the "tactile, TV hair" of Illya Kuryakin. Some of NBC's custom-shot movies (World Premiere) de-emphasize plot; yet they get remarkable ratings...
Dissatisfaction with the conventional format has led both priests and laymen to speculate on new ways to practice confession.

If he follows company custom, he will give up his chairmanship by month's end, but he will probably keep a seat on G.M.'s board and a place on the all-powerful finance committee. It is almost taken for granted that Donner's successor will be the current president and chief operating officer, 60-year-old James M. Roche (TIME cover, May 20, 1966). Most of the speculation, therefore, swirls around the identity of the man who will replace Roche...
