...Another budget slash, sponsored by William Fulbright, reduced research funds by $46 million. The Arkansas liberal, who for years has complained that much of the research is irrelevant, mocked the Defense Department's projects by ticking off some that have already been funded, including studies of "Militant Hindu Nationalism-The Early Phase" and "The Chinese Warlord System: 1916 to 1928." Fulbright's amendment also specified that the Pentagon cannot use funds to research any nonmilitary subjects...
...Nonsense," says Wayne, or words to that effect. "The Green Berets made $7,000,000 in the first three months of its release. This so-called intellectual group aren't in touch with the American people, regardless of Fulbright's blatting, and Eugene McCarthy and Mc-Govern and Kennedy. In spite of them the American people do not feel that way. Instead of taking a census, they ought to count the tickets that were sold to that picture...
...sure, an element of the convert's zeal on the part of the proponents of last week's resolution, several of whom have admitted that they were negligent in not objecting much earlier to Viet Nam policy. Its chief sponsor, in fact, was J. William Fulbright, who five years ago also sponsored the Gulf of Tonkin resolution -the measure that the Johnson Administration later claimed was the "functional equivalent" of a declaration of war.

But he plainly insisted: "I am not a supporter of unilateral disarmament."* While many Congressmen have called for reduction of U.S. troop commitments in Europe, none have seriously suggested that NATO or any other U.S. military alliance be dismantled. Less than three months ago, Senator J. William Fulbright accused Defense Secretary Melvin Laird of using a "technique of fear." Fulbright has given aid and comfort to neo-isolationists at various times, but he does not advocate unilateral disarmament or the breakup of U.S. alliances. The dominant new mood in Congress is one of sober questioning, and Nixon...
Fantasy Window. One outstanding member of the "new grotesques" is Gregory Gillespie, 32, a native of New Jersey who now lives in Rome and shows at Manhattan's Forum Gallery. Gilles pie, who first went to Italy on a Fulbright in 1963, paints with tempera and oil on wood panels, as did Bellini and Giorgione, and loves Renaissance perspective. He limns tiny images of skinned-looking women or bloated, lecherous men as zestfully as Bosch him self, and sets them against the wall of a squalid Roman slum. Surrealistically oozing globules and pustules contrast with saints' pictures...
