...less an authority than General David Shoup, retired Marine Corps Commandant and Medal of Honor winner, accuses the armed services of relishing war for the sake of self-aggrandizement, of making the U.S. "a militaristic and aggressive nation." Physicist Herbert York, former Pentagon chief of research, development and engineering, warns that Americans will face a "Frankenstein monster that could destroy us." Not only are military motives questioned, but military competence as well. The defense complex is indicted for being unable to develop weapons that work well enough, wasting money needed for civilian purposes, giving bad and dangerous advice...
Most mystifying of all in the era of flawless space shots is the fact that the military often seems unable to develop new weapons on schedule and in working order.

But the new tank program is a mess, with three separate projects years behind schedule and far in the red. The M-16 rifle now in use in Viet Nam is a sound weapon, but it went into full production inexcusably late. For a time the Communists, with their new Russian-designed...
Ability to Reason. To develop this noninflammatory point, and to weigh the genetic contribution to intelligence, Psychologist Jensen relies heavily on the so-called intelligence test.

On this contrived scale, the American black typically registers below the American white-on the average, about 15 IQ points. This information is not very new. Moreover, its insight into...
...Machine Show. It is well known, of course, that the gasoline-powered car is the major polluter of U.S. air-a problem for which neither Washington nor Detroit has yet managed to find a solid solution. Short of reverting to the horse and buggy, the obvious answer is to develop a new propulsion system for automobiles that is as efficient as but less noxious than the internal-combustion engine. When the annual auto show opened in Manhattan last week, the Petersen Publishing Co. (Motor Trend, Hot Rod) gave visitors a look at a racy, wedge-shaped car that may signal...
...independent statement, the House Committee of Kirkland House issued a statement condemning the President and deans as "irresponsible because they didn't wait for a moderate alternative to develop," according to Leo J. Corbett '70, chairman of the Kirkland House Committee. Corbett said the HRPC-SFAC-HUC meeting scheduled for 10 a.m. yesterday was evidence that such an alternative was developing...
