...walkie-talkie crackled: "Hello Defiance, this is Crossroads Six." A crowd began gathering a block east of the school, where "Roadblock Alpha" had been thrown up at an intersection. Major James Meyers, a thin, hard man with the glint of a hawk in his eyes, ordered up a sound truck. "Please return to your homes," said he, "or it will be necessary for us to disperse...
...competent personnel. Yet private industry most often reaps the fruit of this expensive training, because less than one out of four re-enlist for a second term. Even this appallingly low figure is misleading because twice as many soldiers in the so-called "soft" skills, such as cooks or truck drivers re-enlist as those in the "hard" skills, such as guided missile technicians and the like...
...gear. Touring for the Democrats (on occasion in a borrowed green station wagon with Pennsylvania tags): handsome, hard-working Governor Robert Baumle Meyner, 49, consistently favored for a second term despite New Jersey's heavy Republican registration.

Haunting the obsolete stockyards in his tweedy British jackets and Bedford britches, Billy soon gave the place a $2,000,000 face lifting, put in modern truck ramps, insisted to cattlemen that Chicago, not Omaha, was cow butcher to the world. For gourmets who patronized the yard's Sirloin Room he added a touch: they could pick and brand their own steaks before broiling. To expand the Prince estate income, he went into industrial research. One Prince project has developed a safe, cheap method of liquefying and shipping methane gas, which Continental Oil Co., in a joint...
