...inability to lead people." Arnheiter now holds a minor post in San Francisco; Hardy, 32, is a lieutenant commander in Key West, Fla.; Generous, 27, is studying for a Ph.D. at Stanford in U.S. diplomacy; Belmonte, 26, is in the San Francisco stock market. There it might have ended, save for Arnheiter's barrage of letters to the Navy Department demanding a rehearing (the file is nearly three feet deep), and the powerful endorsement of his cause this month by Captain Richard G.

The article "occasionally takes note of Nasser's calculating politics," says Peretz, but "settles the burden of tragic events squarely on Israel."

...than 10,000,000 sheets of paper each day in Viet Nam and, endlessly, that war is hell. The verbiage may even be informative, but what tells the story-and more-is the anger and frustration on the faces of a team of medics as they try unsuccessfully to save a shrapnel-torn G.I. with mouth-to-mouth resuscitation...
