Despite the parsimonious mood of Congress, McNamara is criticized for having failed to allot enough defense funds for long-range planning. For three years, the war has forced the Pentagon to skimp on research and development. Says John S. Foster Jr., 45, director of defense research and engineering: "If this trend were allowed to continue, our national technological position soon would be crippled...
...local land speculators, officials were accused of systematically murdering or terrorizing Indians in order to force them off their land. Once a tribe vacated land, the property reverted to the government and could then be picked up cheaply. In only two years of service, the government claimed, former I.P.S. Director Luis Vinhas Neves (1964-66) committed 42 separate crimes against the Indians-including collusion in several murders, torture, and the illegal sale of land; he also raked in more than...
Another former director, Moacir Ribeiro Coelho (1962-63), reportedly committed 41 crimes, ranging from embezzlement to loan-sharking with Indian Service funds.

Expense apart, environments pose other problems; collectors, for instance, are in a quandary over...
...movie is awesome in war and pusillanimous in peace. For a single engagement, Director Sergei Bondarchuk could deploy 120,000 troops-supplied by the Soviet government, which has a stake in the film as message as well as art. And Bondarchuk makes the most of his forces. Cavalries plunge and break in tidal waves; columns of infantry writhe to the horizon and beyond; choruses of cannons shout like narrow mouths of hell in a series of vivid instants that recall the trancelike battle paintings of Uccello. With a knowing artist's eye, the director composes vignettes reminiscent...
