...this fiscal year, or roughly one-third of the vets currently unemployed. The N.A.B. now reports that it is off to a slow start, having placed only about 20,000 veterans in the first five months of the campaign. The plight of many of the 5.2 million ex-G.I.s is revealed in last month's unemployment figures, which show general unemployment at 6% and Viet Nam veterans' joblessness at 8.2%. The ultimate cure for veterans' and all unemployment awaits an even brisker economic turnaround...

William Galley Jr., he names the accusing witnesses and scrupulously uses no anonymous quotes. His book bluntly lays out much of the prosecution's case in the impending military trials. He even...
Although it was made last year, The Big Bounce has the look and tone of films long gone. As the ex-G.I., Ryan O'Neal plays a character patently modeled on John Garfield and uses an acting style that owes much to James Dean. Leigh Taylor-Young appears-frequently without clothing-as the sort of character that James M. Cain used to write about, a homicidal bitch goddess who attracts and destroys men with appetites that do not stop at sex. It is obvious that Warner Bros, hoped to package two agreeable young stars in some tried...
