Though cordiality has returned to Indonesia's relations with the West, no one should imagine that Indonesia has become a cold-war ally. The Suharto regime is basically nationalistic, and intends to maintain strict neutrality between West and East. "It is hoped that America will not try to orbit us as an American satellite," Suharto said last week. That bit of Indonesian humor could be accepted with grace by the U.S., which, of course, has no need to try any such orbiting. Indonesia's dramatic new stance needs no additional push to make it more than what...
...studies, most notably medical school. At that time, they would join 19-and 20-year-olds in the "priority category." As for an all-volunteer force, the Pentagon estimated that the cost would be prohibitive: $4 billion to $17 billion in extra salaries and other blandishments each year to maintain 2,700,000 servicemen, the pre-Viet Nam level...
Keeping an orbiting satellite in the proper attitude is no mean trick. But there are times when antennas and cameras have to be kept pointing continually at the earth if they are to work effectively, and scientists have devised some complex systems to help them maintain position. Gyroscopes, inertial devices, gas jets and small rocket engines, working in conjunction with thousands of electrical and mechanical components, have all been tested. In an effort to reduce the weight and complexity of such systems, General Electric space specialists have taken their inspiration from the moon-a natural satellite that manages to keep...
...general, will appear in two forms in this year's elections: as a general reduction in the Democratic Party's share of the vote, and in individual contests where the war is the main issue. Even without the war, Democrats would have been hard pressed to maintain their 1964 level of popularity. Numerous Congressmen, and state and local officials were swept into office on the LBJ landslide. Without Barry Goldwater, many of these Democrats would automatically have been in trouble. Now they must face the fact that war, like depression, has always been a vote-loser for the party...
...forgiven. But it is misunderstanding and distortion, and that cannot be condoned. He has failed to realize that 2 Henry IV is not an isolated work, but a segment of a carefully wrought continuum. Admittedly, he is not alone. A number of Shakespearean scholars who ought to know better maintain that 2 Henry IV is just a rewrite of 1 Henry IV. The names of the characters do remain the same, but the people themselves undergo change -- and the later play is permeated with physical and spiritual disease. Shakespeare was not writing the usual Hollywood sequel...
