...eyes of the world are upon you. I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty and skill in battle. We will accept nothing less than full victory. Good luck, and let us all beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking." Ike kept in his pocket another communique he had written in case of disaster: "Our landings in the Cherbourg-Havre area have failed to gain a satisfactory foothold, and I have withdrawn the troops. If there is any blame or fault attached to the attempt, it is mine alone." As Eisenhower lay dying...
Reticent Voices. The striking fact is that in a time of intolerance and acrimony, so many have been silent since Inauguration Day. Antiwar posters have not disappeared from the campuses. But the young and the militant have kept campus rebellions going more to support their own causes than to protest Viet Nam. Senate doves have not lost their voices, but they have been reticent. The presidential critic has for the moment become rather rare. That situation is likely to change over the ABM issue. But for the present, if Nixon has excited only a few, he has angered perhaps even...
...Canada. Since the first Safeguard bases would be a few miles south of the Canadian border, and since Chinese or Soviet ICBMs would come in over the North Pole, the nuclear-armed ABMs sent to intercept them would probably be detonated over Canada. Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau was kept posted of Lyndon Johnson's Sentinel plans, but he was not informed in advance of President Nixon's switch to Safeguard. In an emergency debate in Ottawa, Socialist Leader Tommy Douglas protested: "Canada is not a banana republic...

When Laird wanted to provide a questioning Senator with technical data during last week's hearings, he turned either to Packard or Foster. Laird is hardly unsympathetic to the uniformed military Establishment, but he has laid down one ground rule for the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Under McNamara, top generals and admirals often aired their...
...took the reluctant first step. The bank is, after all, well attuned to credit pressures. A leading corporate lender, it was one of the banks most severely squeezed in the "credit crunch" of 1966. This time, the Federal Reserve Board's policy of gradual "disinflation without deflation" has kept U.S. banks at some distance from anything like the 1966 crisis. Though forced to pay interest as high as 81%, the banks have been able to bring home some $2.4 billion in "Eurodollars"-or about one-fourth of the U.S. dollars on deposit in foreign branches of U.S. banks...
