...grateful for the lucid account of the taking of the Pueblo [Feb. 2], an account that we cannot read without feelings of shame. What is happening in our Navy, which once responded so manfully to the command, "Pipe all hands to repel boarders"? If the captain of the Pueblo was instructed never to use his machine guns, something is wrong with our leadership. Time and again military units of the U.S. have been insulted or knocked about because a cold-war enemy shrewdly guessed that the unit would suffer such treatment...
...have read your article on young film makers [Feb. .2] with pleasure. However, I would like to point out the following: the University of Southern California is a private university, as is N.Y.U.; George Lucas is from the University of Southern California, not U.C.L.A. Most of the students at U.S.C. Cinema will not merely become appreciators but will either work in the informational or theatrical film area, as we do not now have enough qualified students to fill jobs available.

It was there that he met a clutch of Kennedys: Joe Jr., then a sophomore; young Jack, who was "gayer, more easygoing, less politically inclined"; and Joe Sr., whom he approvingly describes as a "real operator." And it was there that he met his future wife, Catherine ("Kitty") Atwater, a petite (5 ft. 4 in.), pretty Smith valedictorian who was studying comparative literature at Radcliffe. "I looked up and up," notes Kitty of their first encounter, "wondering...
...mistrust of the State Department, which he has described as "the most ornate bureaucracy since the Ming Dynasty," was not altogether unfounded. Once, when he was away from New Delhi, an aide handed him a coded message from Washington. How was he to read it without a decoding machine? The practice, the aide said, was to call Washington?on the telephone?and ask what was in the message...
