...Marine Corps is already extended to the leathernecked limit. In the U.S. the Marines have their 2nd Division (20,000 men), at Camp Lejeune, N.C., in combat readiness-an Atlantic reserve that must maintain seagoing battalion-landing teams with the Navy's Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean, and for the Caribbean. Combat ready on the West Coast, the 28th Marine Regiment (about 5,000 men) is rattling around in California's Camp Pendleton, a bare skeleton force whose departure would empty the West of Marines...
...unconscious. Thus the bullfighter has slain a human victim. This is Koerner's way of saying that the bullfight is really a surrogate for a much more primitive sacrifice. The woman in white is both a modern Pittsburgh housewife and the old cannibal mother goddess of the ancient Mediterranean. The amazing thing about this painting, which Freud, Jung and Eliade would understand, is that Koerner had no conscious plan when he began to create...
Soviet behavior at sea is becoming increasingly cocky. From the Mediterranean to the Sea of Japan, Soviet destroyers and trawlers boldly maneuver into the midst of formations of U.S. ships. Frequently, the intruders suddenly cut across the bow of an American ship to test the skill and technique of the helmsmen. The Russians also try to ruin maneuvers between the U.S. and its allies. In the Sea of Japan last year, Soviet warships scraped the U.S. destroyer Walker twice in an obvious attempt to break up a joint antisub exercise between U.S. and Japanese fleets.

Soviet warships and electronic intelligence trawlers stalk U.S., British and other Western fleets far from the shores of the Soviet Union. Soviet subs and destroyers shadow the U.S. carriers in the Mediterranean, keeping a watch offshore when the carriers go into port and taking up the chase again when they come out. A fleet of espionage ships keeps watch off U.S. Polaris submarine bases at such places as Holy Loch in Scotland, Rota in Spain and Charleston, S.C. Other snoopers sit off Seattle, New England, and Cape Kennedy, where the Soviets monitor the U.S. space shots...
...least once daily and sometimes more often in areas near the U.S. coasts and Viet Nam. U.S. planners plot the course of every Soviet ship in the Pacific on a huge map in the war room of the U.S. Pacific Fleet headquarters in Hawaii; the U.S.'s Atlantic and Mediterranean fleets keep similar grids on the location of Red warships. As a precautionary measure, U.S. carriers keep a so-called Air Cap of three or four fighters in the air at all times whenever they sail within range of Soviet navy bombers. The Air Cap mission is to intercept...
