...Marine Division will have been withdrawn, leaving the gap to be filled by ARVN's 1st Division.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." Goodly numbers of Germans share some of these sentiments, but they shrink from Von Thadden for fear of Nazism and the violence that surrounds the party...
...used to be that "better living through chemistry" was just another advertising slogan; now it is a sly joke to the young and a grievous worry to their parents. In their quest for sensory experience, an alarming number of kids are swallowing its message whole. Marijuana ("pot," "grass," "boo," "tea," "mary jane," "broccoli," "weed") is their favorite preparation; in lesser numbers, they are smoking hashish ("hash"), taking mescaline, peyote, psilocybin, LSD ("acid"), using barbiturates and sedatives ("goofers," "downers," "red devils," "red birds," "pheenies," "green dragons," "yellow jackets," "tooies"), swallowing or injecting amphetamine stimulants ("crystal," "crank," "meth," "bennies," "dexies," "Christmas trees...
...form and full throat from the pulpit of the Duomo cried no louder. We are gabardine swine losing life and liberty in the pursuit of happiness. The real modern religion is "utopianism," and by that ism, Muggeridge means the universal creed of the modern world. No more "fatuous" slogan was ever devised than the pursuit of happiness asserted in the Declaration of Independence. "The darkness falls to idiot cries of progress achieved, of mankind having come of age," Muggeridge writes, "with vistas of technological bliss, and LSD trips over the hills and far away...
...Persils and former members of another swiftly exonerated group, the Mussnazis (Nazis by necessity). Sad to say, the minority of truly non-Hitlerite Germans have taken little part in the life of West Germany from 1945 until today. "Ohne mich" ("Count me out") was, and is. their slogan, and their withdrawal represents an active personal judgment on the corruption of most of their countrymen. The postwar emigration of many such Germans, says FitzGibbon, represents a permanent loss to Germany. The reproach of the count-me-outers, alas, has not kept the convicted German war criminals-including SS General Kurt ("Panzer...
