Vigilance is a term usually applied to armies on the lookout for enemies. As Eisenhower's caveat and the raging debate in the U.S. on the role of the military indicate, vigilance is similarly required on the part of Congress, the Executive and the public. It is required not to render the military powerless or to deny its courage and dedication or to thrust it beyond the pale. Such alertness is necessary, rather, to ensure that the military does not, by design or accident, irreparably impair the health of the society it is pledged to protect...
Russia's secret-police agency, the KGB, is on a constant lookout for potentially useful Western visitors-and not above using sex to provide evidence for blackmail. With an increasing number of businessmen visiting Russia and other Communist countries, the British government has taken public account of this fact. In a pamphlet issued by the Board of Trade, it offers Britons the delicate warning that "a liaison between a visitor and a local girl will not long remain unknown to the local intelligence service.

...into a crowd," and tipping off a pass play by dropping his right foot back just before the ball is centered-are correct able. His recent knee injury is a minus, but could work as a plus by exempting him from that other draft-military service.

The scouts like the way Cook's head sticks up like a periscope above the mauling linemen to survey his receivers downfield...
Gardner is constantly on the lookout for new uses of the data already in the computers' memory drums. A service called Gasoline Profit Index, for example, helps oil companies find locations for service stations by providing a block-by-block profile of any neighborhood in any U.S. city: how many cars are owned there, what makes and vintage, by men or women, of what age. Since Cadillacs use more gasoline than Falcons, and eight-cylinder engines more than six-cylinders, since women do not drive as much as men, it is possible to estimate down to the number...
Britain's Lord Thomson of Fleet has never laid eyes on the Ozark mountains. But ever on the lookout for profitable little newspapers, Thomson's North American agents cast covetous eyes on the Northwest Arkansas Times (circ. 14,825) of Fayetteville. The daily has been in Senator J. William Fulbright's family since 1913; last week it became Lord Thomson's latest U.S. acquisition. It brought the total of Thomson papers in the U.S. to 56-the largest U.S. chain...
