...small part of the article is of deep concern to me, however. It perpetuates the myth about the cost of the volunteer force. In fact, the active-duty military personnel share of the Defense Department budget has gone down from 31% to 27% since the end of the draft. Retirement, civilian personnel costs and other nonvolunteer force-related costs have gone up, but these increases are not tied to the end of the draft...
Many American Jews had deep misgivings initially about Carter, a Southern Baptist with few ties to the Jewish community. He stilled doubts by asserting that Israel should maintain control of the Golan Heights and Jewish and Christian places of worship in Jerusalem. He also pledged to continue military aid, and he promised to wage an "economic war" against the Arab states if they imposed another oil embargo...

What she plunges into is some of the phoniest-looking surf since a toy ship foundered in the special-effects tank in The Caine Mutiny. It looks all the more phony because we have earlier seen stunning views of the real Aegean. This neatly symbolizes the trouble with The Other Side of Midnight: the backgrounds are convincing, the drama has been churned up at the studio...
