...still favors beefing up the U.S. military machine roughly along the lines advocated by the Joint Chiefs of Staff-converting the Navy to nuclear power, giving the Air Force the advanced manned bomber it has been seeking for years, going ahead with the Army's anti-ballistic missile system, modernizing and perhaps expanding the Strategic Air Command's missile arsenal beyond present plans. All of this is at least generally in tune with Nixon's campaign talk about a "security gap." Both men are aware, of course, that buying these and other weapons systems would cost tens...
...gate, two other Soviet soldiers threateningly waved it back with the barrels of their attack rifles. This was the Milovice-Mlada military reservation, where some 20,000 occupation troops have taken up residence about 25 miles north of Prague.

Consolidating his control over the Greek military, Papadopoulos appointed Lieut. General Odysseus Anghelis, a reliable career officer, to the newly created post of Chief of the Armed Forces...
...operate for the entire year. The students plan to hold a fashion show and put on a play to raise funds, but even if they succeed their school will still be in danger. There is a possibility that Washington will adopt the Annex program for its entire school system. The Strivers would like to see the idea spread, but they know that a large part of the Annex's appeal is that it is voluntary. Massive adoption, they fear, might well kill the spirit that makes Freedom Annex ring...
