...mass of scars from combat wounds. He was hit in the hip while with the Marines near Chu Lai in 1965. During the Buddhist revolt in Danang in the spring of 1966, a 40-mm. grenade exploded near by, wounding him in eight places. He was riding a Coast Guard cutter a few months later when the ship was strafed by mistake by U.S. planes and he was riddled with shrapnel. Afterward, British-born Tim Page would tell his friends that the most frightening sight in the world is an F-4C Phantom screaming out of the sky, blinking death...
...fight with Daley falls somewhat short of total war. When Daley asked for National Guard troops this month to contain disturbances on the eve of the anniversary of Martin Luther King's death, Ogilvie began moving some 5,000 soldiers within 14 minutes. But that concordat between the old rivals was a rare thing. The Governor is pushing through a stiff anti-fraud voting law aimed at the kind of ballot-box finagling for which Cook County is famous.

On Sunday he put on the disguise, stepped out of his cell and joined a crowd of women visitors leaving the prison...
...that 2% amounts to perhaps 100,000 activists, quite enough for a sizable guerrilla war. Over the past year, in fact, disorders have leaped like firebrands from campus to campus?Berkeley, Brandeis, Chicago, Columbia and Howard, to name a few. At Duke and Wisconsin, the turmoil required the National Guard. Black militants and striking teachers closed San Francisco State College for five months, a shutdown punctuated by police raids, arson attempts and bomb explosions...
...that ROTC could conceivably be reorganized on a city-wide or regional basis on U.S. military property, I find it hard to imagine why such an arrangement would not be ultimately ideal from the Military's point of view. An ROTC organized like the Army Active Reserve or National Guard, with weekly meetings and occasional weekend camps, would remove military training from the disruptions and criticism it can continue to expect so long as it remains, in any form, connected with the universities. At the same time it would be much more economical for the government to run (no rental...
