...battalion aid station. There, the battalion surgeon (though no psychiatrist) is supposed to single out the simple cases of fatigue and treat them on the spot with a day or two of rest, plenty of good hot food, and a few words of reassurance. It helps, too, to remind a soldier that his buddies are still up there, taking it, and need him. Usually, the patient hates the idea of letting them down...
Radio Munich's fantastic contention that eighty-five percent of the German Foreign Service are ex-Nazis should remind some of us, in the light of the facts since then revealed by an impartial parliamentary investigation, of similar statements made questioning the political reliability of Foreign Service elsewhere.

The U.N. flag, however, is tastefully displayed against the wall, and there is a pedestal set at the end of the room, with a bowl of flowers on it. As the commanding point ki the room, the pedestal has been designed to "go back to nature itself, like almost all religions." It is an upright section of a mahogany tree, believed...
