...Reserve Corps is, as I see it, the promotion of the warfare state and should therefore be abolished. The argument advanced by those who favor the restoration of the ROTC on the grounds that it is undemocratic to prevent those who want ROTC training from getting it is completely invalid for this reason: Public funds in large amounts are used in order to sustain the ROTC, which not only renders no public service, but does the exact opposite.

Unfailingly attired in his uniform, General St. Pé (Eli Wallach) faces advancing middle age as if it were a court-martial.

Even so, there has been one slight softening in Rome's attitude. A recent letter to the world's bishops promises that the Vatican will soon amend a canon law that forbids Catholic funeral services -or even burial in consecrated ground -to "public sinners," a category that has often...
...voting system is as complex as the City's ethnic pockets are colorful. Voters must number the names on the ballot in their order of preference instead of making a single "x". An average of 2000 of 30,000 ballots are declared invalid in every election...
