...record has not been so liberal as to make him completely unacceptable to conservatives. He passed the Administration's loyalty test, for example, by voting for the ABM.

...terms of sheer size, South Viet Nam's military establishment is impressive. Counting Army, Air Force, Navy, and various paramilitary forces, it totals 1,022,000 under arms. Another 1,500,000 belong to local self-defense forces, armed with a number of outdated but still reasonably effective weapons. Regular soldiers have seen their equipment steadily improve in quality. The U.S. was slow to supply the best weapons to South Viet Nam's forces.

Furrier Jacques Kaplan has a dressier number, in fur with outside pockets, for $150. Paris Couturier Givenchy, in the U.S. last week, promised that his designs next year will include a purse for men. But in Italy, no one is waiting around. Shops in Rome have been doing a snappy business in men's bags for almost...
...used to be that "better living through chemistry" was just another advertising slogan; now it is a sly joke to the young and a grievous worry to their parents. In their quest for sensory experience, an alarming number of kids are swallowing its message whole. Marijuana ("pot," "grass," "boo," "tea," "mary jane," "broccoli," "weed") is their favorite preparation; in lesser numbers, they are smoking hashish ("hash"), taking mescaline, peyote, psilocybin, LSD ("acid"), using barbiturates and sedatives ("goofers," "downers," "red devils," "red birds," "pheenies," "green dragons," "yellow jackets," "tooies"), swallowing or injecting amphetamine stimulants ("crystal," "crank," "meth," "bennies," "dexies," "Christmas trees...
