...sheer and pervasive fervor, the love of nationhood has no equal among contemporary political passions. Independence is the fetish, fad and totem of the times. Everybody who can muster a quorum in a colony wants Freedom Now-and such is the temper of the age that they can usually have it. Roughly one-third of the world, some 1 billion people, have run up their own flags in the great dismantlement of empires since World War II, creating 60 new nations over the face of the earth. In the process they have also created, for themselves and for the world...
Computer Digestion. To carry out his mission, NORAD's commander, General Dean C. Strother, 57, can muster a force of more than 100,000 men, a Ballistic Missile Early Warning System (BMEWS, pronounced bemuse) that stretches from Alaska to England, squadrons of missile-armed jet fighters, and flocks of Bomarc, Hawk and Nike-Hercules ground-to-air missiles. By its very definition, NORAD is a defensive force; by very obvious design, it adds immeasurably to the U.S. nuclear deterrent. Its buried COC is designed to survive any sneak attack; its trained staff will be able to make almost instantaneous...

The Communists in turn are increasing their 250,000-man first-line force by up to 7,000 a month-4,500 by infiltration from the North, the rest by forced drafts in Viet Cong-controlled villages -and by December had at least...
...Only when things were settled at home did he manfully face up to the chortling outside world. "Unjust and unfounded considerations and judgments of a friend and the improvident initiative of a member of my family," he wrote Premier Moro with as much dignity as he could muster, "rightfully or wrongfully have cast doubts on the conduct of the Foreign Minister." With that he resigned...
...cover story on General Johnson is a welcome change from the articles I have read about our misunderstood specimens of manhood who manage to muster up enough energy to hold up placards and march. As I read the grim reminder of Bataan and the death march, I couldn't help comparing those soldiers with our protest marchers, many of whom would be wasting a match to burn their draft cards, because they would be either physically or mentally unfit to serve in the armed forces. We who are mothers of young sons should add this article to their required...
