...Never in History." As for Ford's criticism of the supply bottleneck, McNamara told the Senate committee: "It is absurd. We are supplying fresh meat and fresh vegetables to feed our troops.

The Defense Secretary also pointed out that the U.S. had moved 100,000 men 10,000 miles in less than four months-a feat unprecedented in military logistics. There are now 325,000 combat-ready U.S. troops in Southeast Asia, 245,000 of them...

...circus has 17 new acts, but the biggest one is not in the center ring but in the audience. To the throngs of children, the 96-year-old show is all fresh and new. Their thrills of terror at the acrobats are genuine, their laughter at the clowns unforced and free. And as the lights go out and they swing their souvenir flashlights on strings ("Only a dolleranaquardagitemnow!"), they make a thousand circles of light in the arena -a Spine-Tingling Superlative Spectacle that Old Man Ringling would have paid a fortune for and kids can see for No Additional...
