...wars, are relatively unconcerned with the big picture. In the 9th Division, which will part with its 1st and 2nd Brigades, and in the 3rd Marines, which will detach its 9th regimental landing team, some men began packing their bags. Many were already nearing the end of their tour; others still had several months to serve. Fighting in a war of attrition, in which kill ratios are more important than territorial objectives, they have come to believe that their one-year tour of duty is something to be endured. For most, personal survival is victory enough. Thus, for the ones...
Jaramillo, who will still have a year and five months to serve when he gets back to the U.S., says that he once considered extending his tour for six months but abandoned the idea. When he gets out, he thinks that he may return to school. Meanwhile, he watches his step and counts the days: "It's a long year. Here a year seems like five years. I never gave a - about this or that until I came over here. I just read the sports pages before. Now I read and try to form my opinions. I feel...

By week's end Uruguay indicated that it, too, would like to cancel the visit but would prefer that the initiative come from Washington. The other three governments-all of them military regimes-are confident that they can welcome Rocky while keeping their militant activists in check. Even so, large U.S. Secret Service details were checking out local security conditions with the kind of minute attention to detail that...
...York City for a holiday, the duke made arrangements to fly to Akron to visit an old friend, Industrialist Nathan Cummings. Regrettably, the day he chose turned out to be his 32nd wedding anniversary. Still, appointments must be kept, so the duke flew off as scheduled to tour Cummings' Lawson Milk plant and address a luncheon gathering at Silver Lake Country Club. Said he, ruefully, "The duchess took a dim view of my leaving her alone on this special day." Then he hurried back to Manhattan with a gift of atonement: 32 containers of Lawson's ice cream...
