Just a Gimmick? After a NATO session in Paris and conferences in London attended by Rusk. Defense Secretary McNamara and other top policymakers, the U.S. announced that it would present next month's NATO meeting in Ottawa with detailed plans for a nuclear command and planning structure to integrate the new inter-allied force. It would include Britain's V-bombers and, in 1968, its Polaris fleet, as well as three Polaris submarines that the U.S. has committed to NATO, and other Allied aircraft and missiles...
Arjay Miller bears a marked resemblance to Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara, an old friend and onetime associate.

Patterson, 60, for whom the post of executive vice president was re-created last week, Miller will supervise everything...

The general swept right into the leak-seeking game by calling Reporter Fryklund to his office and asking him point-blank who gave him the memo. Fryklund stood firm upon his obligation to protect his sources, so Blanchard unleashed his plainclothes investigators...
