...government had still not decided what to do with 5 Spinola, who was stripped of his job but not his military rank. A dashing combat commander who often helicoptered to rebel fighting fronts armed only with a swagger stick, Spinola is admired not only by the 45,000 troops in Portugal but also by both black soldiers and white settlers in Africa. After he left his position last year as commander and military governor of Guinea-Bissau (where he reportedly met in secret with leaders of the rebel forces), troop morale there plummeted...

If, in the Arab view, the U.S. has not kept up sufficient pressure on Israel to reach a settlement with Syria on troop pullbacks on the Golan Heights, the embargo could be resumed.

Patty and Maxene, costumed in a sort of WAC usherette motif, are lovably running the train's U.S.O. canteen. The 40s collage includes precautionary Army VD lectures, Glenn Miller band impersonations, little jokes about "going all the way," period slang ("cow juice and Java") and a likable fantasy of America's postwar dreams-Esther Williams bathing beauties backstroking across the dry stage...
