...Army. Ronald V. Dellums, a Marine volunteer 13 years ago and now one of two black councilmen in Berkeley, opposes the whole idea of enlistment as a "way for the black people to get up and out of the ghetto existence. If a black man has to become a paid killer in order to take care of himself and his family economically, there must be something very sick about this society." But even if all qualified Negroes were enrolled, the black proportion of the volunteer army could not top 25%. Nixon holds that fear of a black army is fantasy...
Preview Policy. In Lebanon's case, Israel's policy of holding Arab governments responsible for raids by Palestinian fedayeen might prove counterproductive. Lebanon has paid lip service to the guerrillas, but its army had always been under strict orders to prevent incursions into Israel. Now, declared the Beirut daily An Nahar, "Lebanon has entered the June 5 war." The government considered plans for a draft to bolster its 15,000-man army, but at the same time Lebanese Defense Minister Hussein Oweini reasserted that Lebanon would not knowingly permit the fedayeen to operate from its soil...
...appointed rounds. With perhaps an eye cocked to the 1970 gubernatorial election in his native Texas, Watson let it be known that he has visited 198 post offices in 48 states and covered a total of 89,000 air miles since his appointment last April.

Last handshake count: 69,725. If urged, Watson will admit that he saved the Postal Department $10 million last year. What matter if the postal service...
More often, the team's tips come from reading what Stephens calls "some dull-as-death Government report that no man in his right mind would pick up if he wasn't getting paid for it." Jean Heller, 26, the team's only woman member, was scanning a routine list of Government contract awards when the name "Techfab" rang a faint bell. She checked her files, confirmed her suspicions that Techfab, a St. Louis manufacturer, was under study by a federal grand jury for allegedly accepting kickbacks on $47 million worth of rocket launchers made...
...former editor of the Stanford Daily, examined 12,000 property records in Detroit to document just one claim in a story charging mismanagement of federal antipoverty funds in that city-the fact that a former business associate of Mayor Jerome Cavanagh had benefited from unusually high rents paid for the program's headquarters. Rothberg's reading of a dreary Soil Conservation Service report paid off when he noted that five corporations all had the same box number. Suspicious, he learned that one corporation had divided its farms into five groups to qualify for an extra...
