...DEFENSE. Without slackening the Viet Nam war effort, now costing $30 billion a year, the U.S. can substantially reduce its $74.5 billion defense budget. Much of the $2 billion in military construction budgeted for 1968 can safely be postponed. The Pentagon can save another $500 million to $1 billion by bringing home many of the 50,000 U.S. troops stationed in South Korea and many of the 200,000 in Europe. Foreign military aid, now $510 million, also could be chopped by half...
Created a year ago amid a flurry of woeful statistics, the Committee of Responsibility (to save war-burned and war-injured Vietnamese children) seemed less a medical project than an exorcism of guilt. C.O.R.'s first pleas for help were highly seasoned with mentions of napalm and bombs and inflated casualty statistics. The fledgling organization soon found itself wrangling with experts such as Manhattan's Dr. Howard Rusk, who questioned not only the number of potential patients but also the wisdom of gathering them up in large numbers and sending them for treatment...
What They Can Do. Nothing can save Nguyen Phat Luom's right eye, destroyed by a grenade, but Boston doctors are building him a prosthetic hand, powered by muscles in his upper arm. Tran Van Lam, 13, will get artificial legs. Nguyen Thi Thuy, 7, has her left arm temporarily attached to her face so that its skin may provide her with new lips to replace those blown away. Nguyen Van Ba, 14, no longer has testes, but a bomb-blasted urethra has been repaired...
...annex of 550 rooms, to make way for a modern 18-story hotel with 1,000 additional rooms. Protests, editorials and cables from abroad poured in. The influential architect Kiyoshi Higuchi called the old Imperial "a swan afloat on a lake." Young Japanese architects formed a society to save the hotel as "a symbol of courage and originality." Wright's widow, Olgivanna, now in her 70s, flew in from Taliesin, Wis., to meet with officials in an effort to save the "spiritual presence of my husband...
...Sato entered the controversy, announced he would be happy to see the Imperial moved "in part or entirely" to Meiji Village near Nagoya, a sort of Japanese Williamsburg. Only two days before demolition was to begin last week, Owner Inumaru met with representatives from the village and agreed to save the main lobby, at least temporarily. Assuming the estimated $4,000,000 can be raised, Wright's spiritual presence seems likely to settle down with relics from the Meiji period (1868-1912). The prospect of becoming a part of Japan's architectural heritage would probably have pleased...
