...have read that the right of a man to swing his fist stops just short of the other fellow's nose. I just saw where the nose of the American taxpayer has been violated to the tune of $1,078,500 by the recent Pentagon panty raid [Nov. 3]. In addition, as the war is prolonged by this show of dissent to the policy of checking the spread of Communism, more American boys must lose their lives. Why? Perhaps Dr. Spock can fly to Hanoi and bring peace in our time. DR. N. B. GRANTHAM Smithfield...
...world he feared and resented. After seeing his wife off to work and their children to school, Held, a proficient marksman, pocketed two pistols-a .45 automatic and a Smith & Wesson .38-and drove his station wagon to the mill. Parking carefully, he gripped a gun in each fist and stalked into the plant. Then he started shooting with a calculated frenzy that filled his fellow-worker victims with two and three bullets apiece, at least 30 shots in all.

...ensure swift ratification of his contract, amid fears that Ford's 20,000 skilled workers, who generally complain of getting short shrift compared with their counterparts in the building trades, might revolt.

To the vast majority, the banners of Communism fluttering in Washington, the fist-flailing clashes and the violent verbiage were unsettling, almost unreal. Yet the disquiet that suffused the spectacle was certainly shared to a degree by most Americans. And-however ill-conceived-the Washington demonstration was a reminder to the world of America's cherished right of dissent. It was not the prospect...
...shaped, 320-lb. weather satellite called Essa (for the Commerce Department's Environmental Science Services Administration), Beulah's every move was tracked and reported round the clock by radio, thus permitting more than 150,000 Texans to dodge the big storm's flailing fist. Watching from a polar orbit 865 miles above the earth, Essa's twin TV cameras gave the Texas Gulf Coast twelve days' advance warning on her course. In the Caribbean and Mexico, where Beulah rampaged for two weeks before striking Texas, the storm took about 40 lives-in part because...
