...explanation, Major General Lloyd P. Hopwood, director of Personnel Procurement and Training, said that the A.F.R.O.T.C. program is "the least flexible of our officer-procurement programs," since changes in Air Force strength in recent years have "been established in hours or at most a few months." To change the role of college programs to produce the bulk of the Air Force's career officers will require many corrections by all, said Hopwood. Then he proceeded to hit some Air Force beefs. Last year 15% of the Air Force's college R.O.T.C. units turned out only...
...warm. The only floor coverings are the pebble floor-mosaics designed by Mrs. Owings, but art abounds in the house-paintings by Morris Graves, drawings by Buffet, a candelabra by Seymour Lipton.

Cairo's newspaper Al Ahram blandly reported that a museum would be made out of the Port Said tenement in which Egyptian "resistance" men scored a triumph of sorts over a 20-year-old British officer after the 1956 Suez ceasefire. Lieut. Anthony Moorhouse of the West Yorkshire Regiment, dragged away from his Land Rover, was kept tied up in the tenement for three days, then left...
...deliberate gesture of contempt," roared Lord Beaverbrook's Express. Just as angrily, Nasser's newspaper Al Gumhuria retorted: "Suppose we make not one but a thousand museums to commemorate the horrible attack on us-what business is that of London's?" Stiffening his upper lip, Selwyn Lloyd took the view that Nasser could not have known of the insult in advance...
