...limits the flexibility of response to threats. When Khrushchev got tough with President Kennedy in 1961, for example, the President easily increased U.S. might by authorizing Selective Service to have each of its 4,000 draft boards pull in more men. Presumably war on a big scale could rapidly outrun the capacities of a volunteer army, possibly requiring every able-bodied man. Reserves therefore would have to be maintained-with incentives for reservists instead of the threat of the draft. Even the draft itself probably should be kept on standby, perhaps for use with the permission of Congress...
...GUESS WHAT?). The Negro Ensemble Company seems to be forging a dubious tradition of brilliantly staging mediocre material. The intentions of Playwright Ray Mclver to make a cutting satire of black-white relations in the U.S. unfortunately outrun his wit. But the players, under the direction of Michael A. Schultz, endow this "minstrel-morality play" with a lively inventiveness and bounce...

But the players of the Negro Ensemble, under the direction of Michael A. Schultz, endow this "minstrel-morality play" with a lively inventiveness and bounce it was never born with.

Sophomore Dave Pottetti, fresh from Tuesday's Greater Boston victory, and steadily improving Keith Colburn can be expected to join Shaw and Hardin in a battle against Shorter and Downey for individual laurels this afternoon. Behind them Tom Spengler, Tim McLoone, and John Enscoe are good bets to outrun rival backup...
...Spengler '71, who finished second behind Dave Pottetti in all but one freshman meets last year, has come into his own on the varsity this season. He has outrun Pottetti twice and has placed fourth or better in all but one meet...
