...principle of Innere Führung, or "inner direction." This Riesmanesque notion holds that an army must be more than a goose-stepping collection of robots blindly obeying orders. The soldier is supposed to follow commands because he understands the reasons for them, rather than jawohl-ing out of automatic respect for, or fear of, authority. Though all officers are obliged to take courses in Innere Führung, some are unhappy about it. Brigadier General Heinz Karst charges that inner direction has produced an "unsoldierly army...
Relegated to the Hearth. Tiger calls this particular kind of masculine affinity "bonding": the forging of strong emo tional ties between men that have noth ing to do with women. He contends that these male bonds go back to the origins of human society, owe much to man's animal genesis and are probably genetically determined.

...General Theory of Relativity that Albert Einstein published in 1916 pro posed nothing less than an all-embrac ing theory of gravity. Over the years, as scientists devised increasingly subtle experiments to test Einstein's predictions, the General Theory withstood all challenges But no one was able to check Einstein's conclusion that massive celestial bodies accelerating in space or undergoing cataclysmic events should give off gravitational radiation, a form of energy similar to radio waves that travels at the speed of light. This week, after more than a decade of work, University of Maryland Physicist Joseph Weber...

Like Mike Nichols, Peerce seems to have trouble distinguishing between comedy and caricature. But the two directors also share an asset: the debut of a promising ingénue. Wellesley-educated Ali MacGraw is one of the few models who have successfully managed to switch from magazines to movies without being a hollow-cheeked embarrassment-but at a price. At 30, she has made a late start in the business. Her subdued, ivy-league beauty has, however, retained its freshness. And her performance, which swings with intricate calibration from poignance to petulance, happily compensates for a lot of lost time...
