...permit three or four Navy recruits to take command of a destroyer and fire 5-in. shells indiscriminately at Hanoi and Haiphong, the press and demonstrators all over the world would be up in arms; our embassies would be attacked by mobs, etc. On the other hand, an inexperienced group of part-time farmers can fire heavy 5-in. (122-mm.) rockets shotgun-fashion at Saigon [Feb. 28], a city of over 2,000,000 people, over a period of nine months and the attacks rate no more than a, few lines on page 98 in U.S. newspapers and less...

A California rock group called The Fool has recorded several zodiacal songs?not because they believe only in astrology, but because they feel generally tuned in to the entire occult world (the Fool is the card in the fortunetelling Tarot deck that stands for Man). "This is a very brilliant generation," says Kiyo, a young half-Japanese astrologer who works mostly among pop groups and folk singers.
