...moneysaving troop cuts aroused neither joy nor grave misgivings among service planners. U.S. muscle, they agreed, will suffer little. The Army will come down from 1,000,000 to 950,000, but will keep its 17 authorized divisions; the Navy, from 875,000 (including 200,000 Marines) to 850,000, will maintain combat units at authorized size, keep the Marines at three divisions; the Air Force, from 925,000 to 900,000, will make no cuts in combat outfits.

If they do not starve their infants by refusing to let them suckle, they trample them to death. And what pushes them into their fiercest outbursts of antimaternal deviation is the sight of strange humans, especially photographers...
...early-release" policy, which has cut the average TB patient's hospital stay from two years to around nine months by using such drugs as isoniazid and para-amino salicylic acid (bought with money Edwards wrung from the legislature). Edwards contends that the drug-treated patients will suffer relapses. When he heard talk this spring that the new policy might eventually allow the William T. Edwards Tuberculosis Hospital in Tallahassee (400 beds) to be converted into a mental hospital, he argued that if Florida disbands its TB facilities, it will be unable to handle the flood of restricken patients...
