...term, dating back to a 17th century British campaign in Holland, is a corruption of a Dutch phrase meaning "turn off the taps." Before it was blown up into a musical extravaganza, the tattoo was merely the nightly drum signal beaten through the streets to shutter the bars and steer the troops back to their quarters...
...year or so since President Johnson first outlined the concept, the Great Society has become a national and international catch phrase and a challenge to Americans in all walks of life, notably including journalism. That particular challenge was discussed last week by Time Inc. Editorial Chairman Henry R. Luce in a speech to the Magazine Publishers Association. The occasion was the M.P.A.'s presentation of the Henry Johnson Fisher Award to Luce for "outstanding achievement in magazine publishing," an award named after the late chairman of McCall's and Popular Science companies. The speech set forth some basic...
...midweek, she gave a black-tie dinner for 27 guests in honor of John Kenneth Galbraith, the witty economist who invented the phrase "the affluent society" and likes to continue his researches into it.

But it is a valid interim observation that The Bomb seems to be keeping peace quite effectively among its possessors, bearing out ChurchiII's ironic comment that he "looked forward with great confidence to the potentiality of universal destruction." Illogically, the general feeling that nuclear war equals suicide or surrender has induced a similar sentiment among some that any war is unthinkable. But a Pentagon count of conventional wars since 1945 adds...
