...East, and each side's bristles of missiles were unneeded evidence that the peace was still troubled. But the rigid structures of Europe are rapidly changing, and so are the dogmas of decades past. The cold opposing currents are growing warmer and the hard opposing truths growing softer. As the 7,601st day passed into the 7,602nd, World War III did not seem in the offing. It had seldom, in fact, seemed farther away...
Another suggestion similar to U.M.T. -but softer-was advanced by Defense Secretary Robert McNamara in Montreal two weeks ago. This idea, by no means original with McNamara, calls for a program under which each American youth must spend a year or so in a national organization of his choice -the military, the Peace Corps, the Job Corps, VISTA or some other public service. Last week, before a Senate Appropriations subcommittee, General Hershey pooh-poohed the idea as too expansive and too expensive. Since no fewer than 1,800,000 youngsters come of draft age each year, he seemed...
...Hurt. As criticism of the Administration by businessmen took on a sharper tone, there was a softer note from another side.

He caustically recalled that efforts to placate Japan in the late '30s "did not lead to peace, they led to Pearl Harbor," and snapped that many of the critics who preceded him were advocating that "same general approach to aggression in Asia today...
Harvard's other ace sophomore, Jose Gonsales, almost upset Yale's John West in the quarterfinals, but the hard-hitting number two seed held on, 16-13, 5-15, 15-10, 6-15, 16-14. In the semi-finals, West changed tactics and tried to exchange softer shots with Penn's Howard Coonley. It didn't work, and Coonley...
