It is also difficult to comprehend how you can quote a "Detroit police official" as saying, "With six men carrying the sticks, we can penetrate 50 men and bust up their formation and come back out," when, in fact, the weapon has never been used in any crowd-control situation in Detroit or by Detroit police officers...
Muted Voice. One by one, in fact, Nixon is putting his own men into the key jobs. Two significant appointments made last week: General Andrew Goodpaster, 54, will become Supreme Allied Commander in Europe, replacing General Lyman Lemnitzer, 69, who has been head of NATO's military forces for more than six years.

...warnings served chiefly to illustrate the fact that violence has a momentum of its own, though many suspected that the sudden flare-up had primarily a diplomatic purpose. Just before the exchanges, Nasser's personal representative, Mahmoud Fawzi, showed up in London and Paris, pressing the argument that unless Israel withdraws at least partially from the canal, the Arabs will consider themselves forced to fight another round. In the Israeli view, as Foreign Minister Abba Eban put it, Nasser simply staged the barrage "to cause panic on an international scale" at a time when the Nixon Administration is considering...
