Inevitably, in so long and contentious a tenure, the McNamara mystique has lost some of its luster. The heightening of the war has also increased Wheeler's authority on Capitol Hill: as Kipling noted, the man in uniform may be everyone's goat in peacetime, "But it's 'Savior of 'is country' when the guns begin to shoot." Wheeler has never indulged in the public griping or corridor grumping of previous JCS chairmen. On the contrary, as the nation's top advocate for the military viewpoint, he has sufficient courage, diplomacy and professional...
...most gifted tank officer that the JCS has ever had-based on his cool performance in the second-floor Pentagon "tank," where the Joint Chiefs meet thrice weekly by themselves and confer each Monday with McNamara and Deputy Secretary Cyrus Vance.

In the works, said Atwood, are improved wiring techniques and a space hatch that opens in less than five seconds...
...days a week. So, as you start down the Blackstone sidewalk, there are turnips to the left, genoa salami to the right. The meat shops go in for variety. Capicollo. Mortadella. Proscuttino. Pepperoni. Eight different kinds of salami, including carando milanese and d'annuzio. May we suggest some Bunker Hill Baloney? The butcher men whisper loudly like dark corner procurers. "Hey, buddy, you want some nice chops? How 'bout it? I got some nice steak in here. You want some nice steak...
