...explain "nigger" to the tearful face of a six-year-old? That the zoo is for whites only? How do you enlist a soldier to lay down his life for freedom-of which he knows not?

The criminals come off well because even their apparently senseless act makes...
Officials at the Defense Department estimated that enlistment of college graduates may rise from the usual 10,000 a year to between 30,000 and 40,000. All of these soldier-scholars will become enlisted men. The number of college grads entering the ranks of officers will not change for nearly all of the approximately 150,000 new officers in the past four years have been college graduates...
