Nonetheless, American ground troops have already vindicated the nation's need for a strong, flexible army. From the training grounds of Fort Dix, where a massive statue of a charging infantryman is respectfully known as The Ultimate Weapon, to Viet Nam where kid infantrymen moved into a solid sheet of fire last month on a single word from a platoon sergeant, Johnny Johnson's soldiers exude a new confidence. They know they...
...should treat its involuntary employees with particular solicitude. A "private's general," he takes pride in the good chow and creature comforts that soften a draftee's adjustment to military life. New men are greeted at reception centers with brass bands. At Fort Jackson, S.C., and Fort Dix, N.J., drafty, double-decker wooden barracks are giving way to modern brick buildings that resemble campus dormitories. They have bathrooms on every level, rooms with from two to eight bunks, telephones, lounge rooms and Laundromats. There are automatic dishwashers and potato-peeling machines for K.P. duty...

But Congressmen soon became resentful of overwhelmingly documented proposals that left little room for debate; nor was McNamara's popularity on Capitol Hill burnished by his abrasive style and transparent impatience with congressional dillydallying...
...Room. A rare blend of innkeeper and conservationist, Rockefeller has until now specialized in the Caribbean, building quiet, out-of-the-way resorts on Bali-Ha'i beaches with 24-carat accommodations-Caneel Bay on St. John's, Little Dix Bay on Virgin Gorda, Dorado Beach in Puerto Rico. Mauna Kea may prove his biggest resort investment so far. Designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, the hotel is a tiered, four-story structure whose 154 rooms surround palm-filled inner courtyards. Guests with rooms facing west gaze out on a beach with sand the consistency of powdered sugar...
