...Bucher, the grillings never let up. Brought before Super-C on his first day of captivity, he was told that he had two minutes to sign a confession or he would be shot. An officer held an automatic pistol to the back of his head. On the verge of total collapse, Bucher would only moan, "I love you, Rose. I love you, Rose." After the two minutes, and two clicks of the pistol, Bucher realized that his inquisitors were bluffing. As part of the softening-up process, he was then driven to a nearby prison to inspect a captured South...
...Often enough, he was killed on the spot; if he lived, he was often mistreated. As far as his superiors were concerned, he had proved himself on the field; they were happy if he did not defect to the enemy. But in this century of total war, the prison camp has become an extension of the battlefield. Totalitarian nations are not content merely to extract information from a P.O.W. They often hound and harass a man for months and even years in order to win his mind and soul, to reduce him to an instrument of propaganda...
Nonetheless, the advocates of reform still must overcome Capitol Hill's longstanding reluctance to change the electoral process.

Dancing Girls, Fat. For total relaxation, few hotels in the world can compare with La Gazelle d'Or in Taroudant, where seclusion and discretion are maintained with almost maniacal determination. At $30 a day per person, a maximum of 40 guests sleep in cottages covered with bougainvillea and liana and surrounded by vegetation so dense that it is impossible to see from one cottage to the next. There are no radios at La Gazelle d'Or, no television sets; phones can be switched off, and the only prod to physical activity is a swimming pool-unheated. Compare that...
...ascendancy of color over black-and-white TV has now been established. Last year, for the first time, Americans bought more color-TV sets (5,800,000) than black-and-white (5,500,000), bringing the total of color-owning households to 19 million, or one out of every three in the U.S. Those homes, according to Nielsen, tune in an extra 42 minutes a day. The national average in 1968: 5 hours and 46 minutes...
