...eliminated. Next to go will be "Herr"-the respectful title with which German officers have been addressed ever since Frederick William I forged a powerful officer corps from the Prussian nobility more than 200 years ago. Today's officers may lose their Herr (meaning Mr.) as a result of a 1968 protest by a group of German noncoms who complained that such pompous jawbreakers as "Jawohl, Herr Oberstleutnant" were undemocratic. The proposed form of address ("Jawohl, Oberstleutnant") is hardly casual, but it has caused grumbling among some traditionalists. The brass generally regard it as a good idea...
Rives' toughest negotiations have not been with Sihanouk, however, but with the State Department. Foggy Bottom had completed its 1969 budget before the decision was made to resume relations with Cambodia. As a result, said an aide, "we're having a tough time breaking loose the money. We're on rock bottom." Well, not exactly. Answering the mission's call for supplies with characteristic bureaucratic efficiency, State recently dispatched a C-130 with a batch of supplies that included 30 mattresses but no bedsteads...

This year 82 young birds were born in the area, four times as many as last year. But an ecological balance is not easily restored; large game fish now have to be imported to feed on the wildly proliferating silversides. Once the game fish are established, Californians have to learn that...
...levels that might make even today's yields look piddling because lenders would demand even higher returns to keep ahead of prices. (Some mortgage lenders now grumble that they are "stuck" with loans made years ago at interest that seemed high then but is low now.) The end result of this process would be that investors would refuse to supply as much long-term credit as the nation needs to build needed houses, schools and other facilities...
Because of my estimate of which result is the more likely. however. I was one of those on the Brooks subcommittee and the Committee on Research Policy who argued vigorously for appointment of Policy Board members by the President: I believe it to be the wiser choice and I will regret a decision against it-while hoping, in such an event, that my judgment will prove to be mistaken...
