...strongest possible terms, I wish to record my violent objection to your article on the nature of sexual response [Jan. 7].

Of the eight men who have held the Defense post since it was created in 1947, he is by all odds the ablest and most controversial (TIME, Jan. 21). Yet as he entered his sixth year on the job, Mc Namara, 49, showed no signs of battle fatigue. Nor, for that matter, did the three other durable men who celebrated their fifth anniversaries as Cabinet officers last week...
