Convinced that many men fail to re-enlist primarily because their wives are unhappy, Zumwalt ordered all shore-base commanders to set up channels for hearing complaints not only from the men but from their spouses. Zumwalt also said make-work projects must cease, Saturday duty must be minimized and those irksome barracks and personnel inspections, if held at all, should not interfere with weekend liberty. Beer may be dispensed in barracks, and liquor can be kept in those barracks that are divided into rooms. Optimistically, he set 15 minutes as the maximum time any sailor should be ordered...
...November 3, Studds had spent more than $125,000 and had enlisted over 1000 volunteers in his attempt to represent the state's most populous Congressional district, which includes the South Shore suburbs, Cape Cod and New Bedford. The success of his campaign so unnerved Keith, a lackluster former insurance agent whose only distinction is the most conservative record in the Massachusetts Congressional delegation, that he brought in Senator Edward Brooke and HEW Secretary Elliot Richardson to campaign for him, had his aides investigate Studds' past, accused him of lying about his previous jobs, and strongly implied that a Keith...

He treasures it, monopolizes it, conglomerates it, like a Jay Gould, an Onassis, a Cornfeld of Conversation.

Therefore Soviet Premier Aleksei Kosygin, who hurried to Cairo for Nasser's funeral with his Deputy Defense Minister in tow, ordered a number of Russian moves to shore up Sadat. A new Russian military command was established, and Soviet "advisers" serving with the Egyptian army were directed to develop loyal cadres of Egyptians, who would take over-and report to the Russians-in the event that the Egyptian command structure was punctured by a coup...
This time the President of Guinea seemed to have a legitimate beef. The U.N.'s own man in Conakry, Guinea's capital, told of seeing men disembarking from four unmarked vessels-among them an LST and a 5,000-ton cargo vessel. Heading for shore in small boats, the invaders came under heavy fire. Eyewitnesses later estimated the force at 350 men wearing Guinean army uniforms without emblems. Most of the invaders were black, but there were some whites as well...
