...ever since his days as a plebe in West Point's famed Class of '36. Last week, after 46 grueling months of battles and frustrations as the supreme commander of 533,000 American fighting men in Viet Nam, the prize was his. Ironically, General Westmoreland, 54, the jut-jawed epitome of a "straight arrow" soldier to untold thousands of sweat-stained G.I.s in jungles and paddies, will leave Saigon this week a frustrated, disappointed...
Japan has long-range plans to redevelop most of the islands to their prewar farming and fishing levels. Iwo Jima, for one, will take a lot of patient cultivation. After 23 years, it still remains a desolate battlefield, where hulks of landing craft and shell casings jut from the black volcanic sand.

Nobody could be happier about that than General Mills, Inc., maker of Wheaties, the breakfast yummy that Richards, one of the country's most successful single-product salesmen, enthusiastically pushes on television...
...shofar blown by a gentile. Listening to a radio report on the Normandy invasion, Reuven thinks miserably of the "broken vehicles and dead soldiers" on the beaches. No base ball-playing American kid-Jewish or otherwise-thought for a moment of bodies on that glorious day; he imagined brave jut-jawed soldiers in spotless khakis charging through the cringing, craven "Nazzy" lines...
