With three inexperienced men lining the forward wall--George Yates, an injured Paul Waickowski (at less than full efficiency with a hamstring pull) and Mike Janczewski--Harvard still managed to stay in the game...
...number of military thinkers contend that establishing a volunteer armed force 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...
...more than a decade, the American bases have provided an easy target of opportunity for Japanese radicals, who have been agitating for a U.S. pull-out for years. There are 148 U.S. military holdings in the islands, manned by 41,000 Army, Air Force and Navy men. An establishment of such a size has inevitably at times caused frictions with the civilian population. Since the end of the Korean War, Washington has made sizable reductions in the size of the permanent U.S. troop commitment - but the friction continues...
...chief of its Public Security group, William Gunn, Bangor Punta is rapidly becoming the Abercrombie & Fitch of law and order. Fully equipped by the company, a cop could use a Bangor Punta Dominator radarscope to spot a speeder or car thief, signal him to stop with a Dominator siren, pull out a Smith & Wesson .38 and pull on a Lake Erie gas mask, flush his quarry with Lake Erie tear gas, immobilize him with Mace, bring him to with a Stephenson resuscitator, check him for alcohol with a Breathalyzer, and slap on Smith & Wesson handcuffs...
MONDAY: Provided all went well up to this time, more navigation tests, spacecraft attitude changes and a second live telecast were to occupy the astronauts' time. Late in the evening, the pull of earth's gravity would have slowed Apollo to its minimum translunar speed of 2,170 m.p.h. At that point, 30,000 miles from the moon, lunar gravity takes over. Apollo would thus begin accelerating again as it sped closer to the moon...
