ALLEN GINSBERG IN AMERICA, by Jane Kramer. Earnest, articulate and somehow despairingly sanguine, Allen Ginsberg has evolved from a minor poet to major cult figure-a kind of one-man air ferry between bohemian and Brahmin traditions. Wisely perhaps, Author Kramer concentrates on the life rather than the works...
...alleged crime centers around Special Forces Unit B57 (code name: "Black Beard") located on Nha Trang airbase 190 miles northeast of Saigon. Like two other outfits (B52 and B-55) operating in Viet Nam, B57 is a Special Forces intelligence unit, commanded by Major David Crew of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, one of the eight under arrest. It was engaged in counterespionage along the borders of Laos and Cambodia, employing a network of 300 secret agents to spot enemy infiltrators, supply dumps and rest camps. One of its top agents was a Vietnamese national with the cover name of Thai Khac...

The narrow margin of victory on its major section spelled trouble for the balance of the bill. Last week, before the Senate's adjournment until after Labor Day, other sections of the bill were debated and trimmed. Stennis, an able and astute politician, had anticipated the Senate's antimilitary mood and cut $2 billion from...
...limiting the purchase of the controversial C-5A aircraft. The Senate critics also want to deny the Pentagon a $377 million nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. They argue that in the missile age the carrier makes too massive and lumbering a target, and that the U.S. is the only major sea power still building them. Another thorny topic to be discussed is whether the U.S. still needs-and can afford -to maintain 428 major overseas military bases...
