Periodically, the editors of TIME re-examine and redefine the lengthy roster of departments within which they try to present the significant news events of the week.

...Senate must still consider-and will probably approve-the nuclear non-proliferation treaty. But foreign aid and trade agreements may lead to sulfurous squabbles.

These victims of our social order 'prefer' the uniform because of socio-economic compulsions-for the three square meals a day, for the relative egalitarianism of the barracks or the foxhole, for the chance to be promoted." Conceivably, Negroes could flock to the volunteer forces for both a respectable reason, upward mobility, and a deplorable one, to form...
