...life, Thomas H. Moorer has been a comer. He was valedictorian of his high school class at 15, then had to wait two years before he could pick up his appointment and sail through Annapolis in the class of '33. At Pearl Harbor when the Japanese attacked, he survived to pilot Navy reconnaissance planes again and pick up a fistful of medals, from the Purple Heart to the Distinguished Flying Cross. Since then, he has had some of the toughest jobs in the Navy, including commander of the Seventh Fleet and, most recently, the tricky triple-hatted post...
...began this week with a parade of Finland's modest armed forces through the capital of Helsinki, whose distinction is that it is the world's second northernmost capital (after Iceland's Reykjavik). While the navy's Russian-built destroyers rode at anchor in the harbor, the army's British tanks and French artillery rolled through the streets toward Senate Square, where officials honored the memory of Field Marshal Baron Carl Gustaf Mannerheim, who half a century ago led the force that established Finland's democratic regime...
...Calm View. While the Arabs shouted, Israel's Premier Levi Eshkol took a surprisingly calm view of the situation. In decidedly conciliatory tones, he said in a speech to the Knesset: "I would like to say to the Arab countries, particularly to Egypt and Syria, that we harbor no aggressive designs, we have no possible interest in violating either their security, their territory or their legitimate rights. We on our part expect the same principles to be applied to us." One reason for Eshkol's restraint, of course, was the knowledge that a good part of the Western...
...neither by chance nor, of late, altogether by choice. So regularly and effectively have U.S. pilots pounded Ho's fledgling industries in the nation's heartland (see map) that very few major targets remain intact. U.S. policy has so far strictly proscribed the bombing of Haiphong harbor, the Red River dikes, and the government's civilian and military headquarters in Hanoi. Of the permissible targets, only four major ones are still untouched: the three airfields of Phuc Yen, Gia Lam and Cat Bi, and the large Red River Bridge feeding into downtown Hanoi...
...attitude may have been a kind of proud echo. Twenty-four years before, his own Congressman father had denounced World War I with equal vigor (on the ground that it was a conspiracy of the "money trust" ruled by Eastern bankers) and had been similarly reviled. After Pearl Harbor, old rancors seemed lost in the community of defense, but Roosevelt refused to give him back his commission ("You can't have an officer who thinks we are licked before we start," said a White House aide). Lindbergh had to get into the war some other way, was taken...
