Most NATO admirals and generals back the neutron bomb because of its advantages over existing tactical warheads, but their civilian leaders have reacted more coolly, and some military men also voice dissent. British Admiral of the Fleet Sir Peter Hill-Norton dismisses the neutron bomb as "sexy for the media [but] a new dimension of warfare that we do not want to go into." The Dutch are attempting to keep the bomb out of the NATO arsenal and Christian Democratic Leader Willem Aantjes declared last week that the false report of Carter's decision was "extremely good news" because...
Copper Gold by Pauline Glen Winslow (St. Martin's; $8.95). A former Fleet Street court reporter who now lives in Greenwich Village, Winslow, fortyish, focuses on swingin' London's demimonde with Hogarthian relish. Her world of pushers, prossies, punks and rotting Establishment pillars is counterpointed by the decent, diligent coppers who come a cropper. What might otherwise have been a merely expert Scotland Yard procedural is elevated by Soho low jinks and, believe it or not, a pervasive and finally persuasive romanticism...

Such cooperation would clearly benefit both companies, but only to a limited extent. AMC Jeeps have been selling well in the U.S., but overseas they could face fierce Japanese competition. Making Renault's small, 32-m.p.g. Le Car would help AMC get the m.p.g. average of its total fleet high enough to meet tough federal standards. But Renaults have not sold well in America; they seem unlikely to draw much traffic to AMC dealer showrooms. Above all, Renault would put no money into cash-short AMC. If this is the best deal American Motors can come up with...
Harvard's men's tennis team will open up its home season Friday afternoon when it entertains Navy at 2 p.m. The Midshipmen should prove to be feisty competitors because the entire Navy is agitated over President Carter's moves to cutback the fleet. This searing domestic issue should make the team especially aggressive...
