Result: of all the services, the U.S. Army this year received the harshest manpower slashes, and also suffered deep cuts in funds for its precious research and development program...
...only man in Yugoslavia to speak up for him at all-ex-Vice President Milovan Djilas-was himself in just as much trouble. The two men fought alone last week in a suspenseful but losing battle against Yugoslavia's Communist hierarchy. It was a rare sight: a deep and significant squabble deep inside a Communist family circle, but carried out in almost full view of the outside world.

They usually mumble something about liking birds since childhood, or about the thrill of hunting without its element of cruelty, or just the great outdoors. Whatever its origin, the birding bug bites deep. Wives picture themselves dolefully as "birding widows." A golfer trying to wave his ball into the cup for an eagle at the 18th hole when...
