...longer papa but the computer who knows best how to help boy meet girl. Not so, as yet at any rate, in Japan, where the professional matchmaker still plies his ancient and honorable trade with a gusto no computer could possibly match.

While overlooking the presence of similar non-military courses (accounting, physical education), the critics also tend to forget that universities themselves approve the ROTC instructors, many of whom are rising young officers who take graduate courses on the side. At Columbia, for example...
