...welcome as the Red Scare heated up and suspicious eyes turned to the nation's artistic community in order to find a culprit for the spreading virus. Rather famously, Welles' production was shut down on opening night, marking the only time that federal troops were called in to squelch an evening of theater...
...face right now. Though a host of energetic young military strategists in the Army and at outside think tanks have made proposals for a "new look" Army, it will be decades before such a force is ready for battle. That may be fine if the U.S. continues to squelch most international conflicts from pressurized cockpits at 25,000 ft. But the Army insists that one day we will need hundreds of thousands of armed men and women to help protect our national security.

The Pentagon, the White House and NATO spokesmen spent much of the three-day summit insisting their sustained bombardment of Yugoslavia was paying off. Officials rolled out numbers to tick off progress: after 3,000 target strikes, 16 early-warning radars were gone, half of Serbia's MiG-29s destroyed, two oil refineries eliminated, 25% of stored fuel wiped out, all four vital rail and road links to Kosovo damaged. Never mind that 3 of every 4 bombs were...
