...matter of practice rather than theory, powerful factors would work in a volunteer army toward keeping the proportion of blacks about where it is in the draft army-11%, or roughly the same as the nation as a whole. Pay rises would attract whites as much as blacks, just as both are drawn into police forces for similar compensation. The educational magnets, which tend to rule out many Negroes as too poorly schooled and leave many whites in college through deferments, would continue to exert their effect. Black Power militancy would work against Negroes' joining the Army. Ronald...
...ways that helped Rowe pass his last year of imprisonment was to calculate the amount of back pay that the U.S. might owe him: he reached more than $30,000, then quit figuring. In fact, he was considerably short-changing himself because he assumed that he was still a first lieutenant, not realizing that his promotion schedule rolled on in absentia. His back-pay total will thus probably come closer to $50,000. "I just couldn't believe that I was a first lieutenant and now I wake up a major, like a modern Rip Van Winkle," said Rowe...
...since his junior high school days (at 14, he built and programmed a computer that wrote music).

They will, however, pay much more attention to monetary policy -and relatively less to taxes and Government spending. In that way, they hope to ease the economy onto a steadier, less inflationary course...
...degenerated into a one-man show. Instead, it is a two-man performance. The second man is Director John Flynn, who, faced with a prodigious actor and an undeveloped scenario, has fleshed out his film with nuances. The barracks life of monotony and loneliness is depressingly acute; the local pay sans, whose faces are maps of rural France, give an extraordinary sense of locality to a story that badly needed roots. Unfortunately for the film, neither Flynn nor Steiger bears the antidote for the sting of predictability...
