...years to luxuriate, if only briefly, in their own memories. Last week millions of Americans took this trip to reverie, propelled by the nationalized nuptials of Luci Baines Johnson, the first daughter of an incumbent President to marry in 31 years, and Patrick John Nugent, the boy from Waukegan, Ill., who brashly wooed...
Tumors & Goof balls. Whitman's bloody stand profoundly shocked a nation not yet recovered from the Chicago nurses' murders. One effect was to prompt a re-examination of U.S. arms laws and methods of handling suspected psychotics (see boxes). There was a spate of ideas, some hasty and ill conceived. Texas Governor John Connally, who broke off a Latin American tour and hurried home after the shootings, demanded legislation requiring that any individual freed on the ground of insanity in murder and kidnaping cases be institutionalized for life. New York's Senator Robert Kennedy proposed that persons acquitted...
Medical reluctance to call in the police is rooted both in therapeutic practice and the practicality of the law. Successful treatment of mental illness depends on the confidence of the patient in the therapist.

Intelligence reports indicated that the 324th was no stranger to the area; rather than risk running the gauntlet of air reconnaissance and allied strongpoints along the Ho Chi Minh...
...neither India nor other needy nations dare rely on largesse much longer. With world population in the past five years growing twice as fast, at 2% a year, as food output, man's struggle against hunger has reached a historic turning point. It has already forced dozens of ill-fed countries to start reshaping their pride-twisted economies. It has upset old notions of geopolitics. Most dramatic of all, it has virtually eaten up the perennial overproduction of U.S. agriculture, whose bounty now feeds one out of every 20 persons in Africa, Latin America and non-Communist Asia...
