...good thing. The Marine Corps is determined to be as tough and rigid as ever, perhaps more so in order to claim greater eliteness. "We will continue to take the hard line," says one Marine general. "We think we can get 200,000 volunteers, cut their hair and shave their faces. It will be a challenge, but maybe it's the only one left...

It was understood that he would take them black to Mrs. Claus, who would be expected to use them to cook. For Santa himself, we left cookies and milk or after-shave lotion.

Since the new plan envisions far greater efficiency, almost $14 billion would be saved by eliminating administrative waste and overlapping programs. To that end, Max Fine of the Committee of 100 estimated that the Government could shave $1.1 billion from the national health-care bill by abolishing the more than 20,000 different types of policies now offered by 1,800 competing private insurers, the largest of which would become Government contractors. It could save another $6.4 billion by eliminating doctors' overcharges and unnecessary surgery...
