Baggy Suits. Bailey decided after seeing peace demonstrations in the U.S. that he "was participating in murder" by assisting in the launching of air strikes from the carrier. Lindner, making the farfetched claim of having seen the flash of bombs dropping on North Viet Nam at night (carriers operate too far from the coast for crewmen to witness strikes), argued that the war was "immoral." Anderson urged others "to follow in our footsteps," said he did not believe the majority of pilots "were in favor of the war" but preferred to remain silent. Barilla declared that he was "against...
Even for Saigon, a city that has seen all manner of demonstrations, it was an unusual protest. Into Workers Union Headquarters last week marched 200 perfumed professionals, representatives of the 50,000 bar girls and taxi dancers who make their living by catering to the loneliness of the American G.I.

"It's the worst miscarriage of justice I've ever seen," said the angry prosecutor. "The boy hadn't even been arrested. And his father was there. This is ridiculous. It means we have open season on mothers up here." If Judge Lansden's barring of the confession is overruled, it will hardly make any difference to Bruce, who has been committed to a state mental hospital by his father...
...Kerrville plant. To hold down payroll expenses, he enlisted only two other executives-Chief Engineer Ralph Harmon and brother-in-law Hoffman, who serves as a vice president in charge of sales. His 1,000 plant workers get substantial incentive bonuses; Mooney is delighted that few of them have seen fit to join a union ("They're paid more for their services than...
