...accused McNamara of being a Pentagon tyrant who uses the word "we" in his testimony only "to hide the essential singularity of the decision-making process in the Department of Defense." Said the report: "The subcommittee was shocked to dis cover that the proposal to phase out of the SAC inventory all B58 aircraft was, as best it could ascertain, an action solely recommended and supported by the office of the Secretary of Defense and one neither recommended nor truly supported by the Air Force or the Joint Chiefs of Staff...
...town of Palomares five miles away. "They have pulled it up!" In Madrid, one newspaper suggested that the recovery was a Holy Week "miracle."

To get this material, he cuts through the diaphragm and takes out a 6-inch by 10-inch piece of the omentum, the apron of fat that lies over the intestines...
...fans endlessly with the trivia that thrills. Through Hedda, the readers learned that Clark Gable had not a tooth in his head, that Joan Crawford's compulsive cleanliness caused her to drop to her hands and knees and scrub the bathroom floor during a visit to SAC headquarters. The fans also got a sizable helping of bloopers. "For more than 2,000 years," Hedda once intoned reverently, "Jews and Christians all over the world have tried to follow in the footsteps of our Saviour...
