...might consider scaling down its nuclear presence on Okinawa. This presence alarms not only China but also Japan, which has residual sovereignty over the Ryu-kyus. Alleged U.S. "colonial" rule there feeds Peking propaganda and incites those Japanese who demand both the return of the islands and the abolition of U.S. bases in Japan. Such a scale-down might be strategically risky, but the U.S. could compensate in part by relying on the deterrent of its submarine-borne Polaris and forthcoming Poseidon nuclear missiles...
...very obvious attack on religion in this country took place May 4, 1969 when a man had the unmitigated gall to walk into a church and demand 60% of its annual income for "reparation" for slavery [May 16]. I question the true motives of people like Forman. I don't believe they are after reparation; I believe they are after something bigger, whether it be an attempt to establish black supremacy, or part of a plan even more nefarious. Slavery died over 100 years ago, and today's Negro is no more a slave than is today...
...matter of troop withdrawals, Hanoi has privately agreed to President Nixon's insistence on simultaneous mutual pullouts. The North Vietnamese insist, however, on maintaining the fiction of victory. While continuing to demand unilateral U.S. withdrawal, they would simply negotiate their own private "unilateral" pull-out with South Viet Nam-which would just happen to correspond with the U.S. schedule.

That, to be sure, is still...
...bulls to go around? Spain now has 312 bullrings, some in areas like the Costa Brava and Costa del Sol, which were never part of the sport until tourists appeared. Last year 3,660 bulls were sold to corridas at prices of up to $1,000. To satisfy this demand, breeders fattened bulls in pens on fishmeal and soybean extract instead of allowing leisurely grazing. This process builds fat, not muscle, and animals so topheavy that they stumble and fall before they are weakened with picas and banderillas and finally sword-slain in those moments of truth that are these...
...occupations at an unprecedented rate. The computer industry needs a steady flow of systems analysts, programmers and operators. The burgeoning aerospace field needs specialists in aeronomy and the ionosphere, experts in lunar and planetary studies. Even social ills create new careers. All the prodigal wastes of the era demand new experts-in smog and pest control, not to mention sanitation technology. Ecologists maintain a watch on the total environment, noting how change in one area triggers change in others. Ethnologists explore ways of dampening human violence before it becomes hopelessly harnessed to all the lethal weapons available. City planners...
