...Cover: Dimensional collage by Dennis Wheeler. A yeoman three in the Naval Reserve, Graphics Designer Wheeler chose ribbons* for his symbolic serviceman in khaki that range over four wars-World War I, World War II, Korea and Viet Nam. He is well aware that no one man could have won them all. "Grouped together," he says, "they stand for valor." Carefully examined, they also say something else. Since his cover figure represents a military Establishment under attack, Navy Man Wheeler decided to slip in a nautical signal for trouble. On shipboard, that would be the ensign flying upside down...
...Presidio in San Francisco, one of whom was sentenced to 15 years at hard labor for refusing to stop singing (the Army judge advocate in Washington later reduced the term to two years). Equally revealing of the military mentality was an episode that occurred recently at the naval base in Long Beach, Calif. Fed up with the hippies, peaceniks and other irritating agents, base officials barred any cars bearing the stylized love daisy, the ensign popular with antiwarriors, from the installation.

Bargaining broke down with Spain wanting $700 million in military...
...Soviet approach is working fairly well. In the past year, Soviet trade with Singapore has grown to nearly $40 million, and the Soviets apparently would like access to the British naval base for their own growing Pacific trading fleet when the Union Jack is hauled down in 1971. In two short years, the Soviets have become the largest purchasers of Malaysian rubber. As the flag follows trade, they have opened an embassy in Kuala Lumpur. They are offering the Japanese the opportunity to share in the development of Siberia's natural riches; one deal concerning timber has already been...
