...intercepted five passes, scored one touchdown, and held off the most potent challenge of the year. Except for the other touchdown play, Cornell's defense gave Harvard nothing--repeat, nothing. The Big Red used a continually stunting defense, a gambling ploy that the Crimson offense almost inevitably catches off guard for several big plays. But never on Saturday...
McNamara's reorganization would go a long way toward improving the Guard's readiness for foreign emergencies. It would not, of course, cut to the heart of the question: state control. In 1903, after disastrous results with the militia in the Spanish-American War, Secretary of War Elihu Root vainly sought to eliminate the states' role and create a reserve of militiamen controlled entirely by the Federal Government. In 1948, a Defense Department committee under Assistant Secretary (and later Secretary) of the Army Gordon Gray urged much the same. There is much to be said for this...
Above all, the fact must be faced that as it stands, the National Guard is generally not fit for either side of its dual role.

...decided upon and new task forces selected. "We're like a boxer on his toes," says Durham. Among Glide's more successful projects: a "Black People's Store" that supplies needy Negroes with free food, clothing and furniture; a "Citizens Alert" legal-aid group to guard against police brutality; two halfway houses for released mental patients. Glide was instrumental in organizing San Francisco's "Huckleberry House" for runaway youths (TIME, Sept. 15), has steered untold down-and-outers to rehabilitation and jobs...
