Again, Harris' interviewers framed hypothetical situations. For example: "If you were a parent and had a son who came home from the Army and smoked marijuana, would you report him to the police or not?" By 42% to 40%, the answer was yes. On the other hand, in many categories there were big majorities against turning in the son: suburban residents, the under-30s, the college-educated, professional people, those earning over $10,000, westerners and Jews. Curiously, blacks would turn the son over to the police by a bigger margin than whites...
Another question was posed: "What would you do if a son came home from the Army, bringing a supply of marijuana that he sold to his friends for $5,000 profit?" This hypothetical situation evoked a much sterner response: 73% would report him to the police, and only 14% would not. The answer of Leo Adams, a retired electrician of Rittman, Ohio, was representative: "If he smoked it himself, he's only hurting himself. This way he might give the habit to a lot of others-maybe even another...

Unventuresome Swedes spend their vacations at the seashore with wives and children. Count Carl Gustaf von Rosen, on the other hand, has left the family home this year and with four other men has gone off to Biafra on a big-game hunt of sorts. The weapon they chose is an odd one: a Swedish single-engine aircraft known as the MFI-9B trainer, equipped to hold twelve rockets in pods under its wing. The bag claimed so far has been equally unusual: it includes four MIGs, one Ilyushin 28, two Canberras, a Heron and a control tower, all belonging...
After he returned home from Biafra last year, Von Rosen continued to worry about the underdog. Resuming routine hauls for Transair Sweden, the count commenced secret military planning on the side. Since he will be 60 years old this summer and can no longer fly commercially as a captain, Von Rosen talked about opening a flight school; on this premise, he approached Malmö Flygindustri, builders of the MFI-9B, and received permission to take up one of the trainers for familiarization flights. He searched quietly for pilots and demanded, with reason, that they be experienced. Studying press photographs...
