...Stage of the Plains and call it "close to illustration" is probably the understatement of the century. It, along with most of Remington's and Charles M. Russell's work, has about as much merit as a work of art as TV's Gunsmoke or Have Gun, Will Travel...
Pistol Packers. The hurried fleet and troop movements of last week were only the cocking of the pistol over threatened Laos, and the man who held the gun had plenty to back him up. He is Admiral Harry Donald Felt, U.S. Commander in Chief Pacific (CINCPAC), boss of the biggest military contingent in the world (TIME Cover, Jan. 6). At Felt's call are the 373,000 men. 1,000 aircraft and 400 ships of the First and Seventh Fleets, the Fifth and Thirteenth Air Forces, and the Army's 1st, 7th and 25th Infantry Division. Highly mobile...
...Guns from the North. While Vientiane danced and paraded, most of northern Laos was in the hands of the Communist Pathet Lao rebels (see map). Lean, well-conditioned guerrilla bands slipped like shadows through the green jungle, re peatedly outflanking the roa'dbound Laotian army.

Hanoi also supplied gun crews, and each Pathet Lao company was stiffened with a cadre of from 10 to 15 North Vietnamese...
Landing at Johannesburg, Verwoerd was greeted by a premature 21-gun salute.

Obviously relieved by Macmillan's assurances that Britain did not intend to end its preferential tariff agreements with South Africa despite the Commonwealth split, Verwoerd seemed to have changed overnight from a lifelong Anglophobe...
...bird-produced visions that never left him. Somehow the most painful experience of his youth, his four years as an artillery engineer for the Kaiser, has become with time part nightmare and part joke. He was, he says, wounded twice at the front: once by the recoil of a gun and once by the kick of a mule. It was "four years of nonsense," and when peace came he was ready to move on to France, to the U.S. (during World War II) and, lately, back to France...
