...work clothes should not get on public transport, because they will soil other people's clothes," she writes. "In the train, don't fall asleep on a stranger's knee." Nor should comradely formalities be overdone. Don't, for instance, shout the reverent Communist greeting, "Honor to labor!" to a friend who is sunbathing on the beach: such enthusiasm, she warns, "could appear ironic." More important, when greeting a woman, kiss her hand and address her as "Madame" rather than call her comrade and raise a clenched fist in a party salute. Reflecting Communism...
MacBird! by Barbara Garson has been awaited with all the fierce anticipatory noises surrounding a tumbrel arriving at the guillotine. Long before the play's off-Broadway opening last week, an honor guard of coterie intellectuals, including Critic Dwight Macdonald and Yale Drama School Dean Robert Brustein, went into tub-thumping ecstasy over MacBird, which promised a dramatic severing of President Johnson's head.

Three uninvolved cadets reported the violations, which were promptly investigated by the Academy honor-code committee composed of 24 cadets. Air Force officials indicated that members of all four classes were involved, although the majority of the students were juniors...
...average, about 30 students a year are dismissed, or allowed to resign, for violation of the code-about 1% of the cadet wing. Some critics of the Academy contend that the standards are both unnecessarily stringent and unworkable. Nonetheless, the Air Force and the cadets themselves agree that an honor code is absolutely essential to the training of officers and gentlemen who will be responsible for the lives of other...
