...sometimes been argued that there is no direct equation between an arms buildup and war. Until recently, the area importing the most arms was neither the Middle East nor Indochina, but the industrial nations of Western Europe???and they have been at peace for nearly three decades. It is also true that brutal combat does not require advanced weapons: the horrors of Europe's Thirty Years War of the 17th century, the U.S. Civil War and World War I testify to that...
...trip to Europe???especially Great Britain?would be right in keeping with the current boom. England is experiencing such a resurgence of witchcraft and other occult dabbling that an ecumenical commission of Anglicans and Roman Catholics recently recommended that each diocese appoint an official exorcist to drive out demons. In France, a popular seer named Madame Soleil gives weekday advice on radio, and rumors say that Black Masses are being performed in Paris and Lyons...

A quarter of a century after the end of World War II, no European peace treaty has been written, and, in a very real sense, the results...

He was then called into the Army and sent to Fort Bragg, N.C., where his commanding officer assigned him to write a guidebook to the base. That book was the prototype of Fielding's Guide to Europe???chatty, chuckly, problem-solving, a little patronizing: ("Each regiment has its own barbershop, staffed by civilians. It's good and it's cheap. Don't think that you look like a monkey after your first 'G.I.' trim. Short hair is an Army custom.") Continuing to do magazine articles from Fort...
