...corps. It is hard to see how replacing draftees with volunteers would make officers more influential." Nixon might have added that conscript armies have seldom proved any barrier to military coups. Greece's army is made up of conscripts, but in last year's revolution they remained loyal to their officers, not to their King...

Leaders of the real op position soon dismissed the whole exercise as a farce, and the Spanish press ran cartoons picturing all 316 candidates...
...raccoon coats and bootleg booze. Ivy League schools do not hold spring practice; they are sparing with their athletic scholarships, and they demand more than passing grades in physical education. But each fall, when Harvard and Yale clash in the climactic contest of the Ivy season, for thousands of loyal alumni-and for tradition-minded fans everywhere-the game is still The Game...
