...Defense Secretary Robert McNamara never tires of pointing out, Viet Nam has necessitated neither the mobilization of reserves nor the imposition of wage-and-price controls at home. Yet the war has inevitably caused strains and shortages, none of them potentially more perilous than the dwindling supply of military aviators. Ironically, the attrition has resulted not so much from the hazards of Hanoi's MIGs and antiaircraft batteries as from the built-in competitiveness of American society in the jet and space...
...maximum of drama, climaxed the first week of the trial.

One such student was recommended for enrollment by the Albany police after he had stolen...

Something like 40,000 fans will attend the Masters, millions more will watch it on TV-and none of the P.G.A.'s own tournaments ever attracted a crowd that large...
