...America. Though Hollywood has virtually stopped manufacturing oaters-and counteroaters like Hud-young producers and directors labor on their outer-space operas shod in $1,000 hand-made cowboy boots. Factory hands outfit pickup trucks as high-ridin', gas-guzzlin' quarter horses: shotguns are displayed in the rear windows, and western music yips through the air conditioning. Whether the collars be blue or button-down, frontier chic is a perennial fashion. Our conviction that the cowboy was an enviable individualist in denim persists like a psychic saddlesore...
...operated inside the gulf four times, most recently in July 1979. Last week's venture into the disputed area-the first during the current Administration-was carefully planned. The naval exercise was cleared in July by the National Security Council. Shortly thereafter, the commander of Task Force 60, Rear Admiral James Service, was called to Washington to discuss the operation with the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The reason: the exercise was regarded as a subject of "great complexity," said a Pentagon spokesman, and one that was "not without risk."

...handbook. The first is truly fascinating, showing the curious exactly where on one's auto one should paste both one's Commonwealth of Massachusetts non-resident student registration ("top center of windshield") and faculty, staff or student parking permit ("to be placed here.") The front and the rear of the sedan are labeled for easy identification. The other illustration--a flow chart of Harvard's organizational structure--is harder to follow. Power seems to flow from the Board of Overseers through the President and Fellows and down to the Expository Writing Committee. Connected by a dotted line--indicative of their...
Only half a dozen miles to the rear, in the town of Hof, is the headquarters of the Second Armored Cavalry Regiment. The Second is at the very forward edge of the U.S. commitment to nato, some 3,800 men assigned to the surveillance of 400 miles of the Iron Curtain. They are screening, among other places, the "Hof Corridor" into upper Bavaria, a less likely battlefield than the north German plain or the Fulda Gap in central Germany but perhaps a tributary invasion route. A feisty Lieut. Colonel from Florence, Ala., Tony Brinkley, 39, thinks the Second could give...
