...Marine Division will have been withdrawn, leaving the gap to be filled by ARVN's 1st Division. The U.S. Commander in Viet Nam, General Creighton Abrams, calls the 1st the equal of any American division in the country. In line with its slogan, "More sweat in training, less blood in combat," it gives each trooper an extra five weeks of special training, and its combat record is excellent. Though it is twice the size of most other ARVN divisions, with its six regiments, the 1st may well have to be spread too thin across the 37 miles of vulnerable...
...German self-pity but also to glories of another time. Von Thadden tells Germans there is no reason to feel guilty, to "beat ourselves with the past." He advocates German reunification, a greater German voice in NATO, and tough measures against criminals and protesters. The N.P.D.'s slogan: "Security Through Law and Order."

Even if pay-TV loses the battle, NATO will not have won the war. Already, many marquees have replaced the SAVE FREE TV slogan with FIGHT PAY-TV IN ANY FORM. That is an oblique attack on cable TV (CATV), a different service designed to bring extra channels and a clearer picture to isolated and poor-reception areas for a monthly fee. If CATV operators are allowed to add programs of their own, including new movies, the resulting diversity could be another serious threat to theater owners, who are already so beleaguered that they cannot afford to laugh...
