...Stop! Courreges' underbosoms [Aug. 11] bouncing in the breeze will be too much. The underendowed will be pitilessly uncovered and ignored, while we bountiful girls need all the support we can get. I shudder to think what type of underwear they'll devise for our "underbosoms"-minihalters...
...years since regular raids on the North were begun, the air campaign has gradually spread from the southern panhandle section of North Viet Nam to encompass nearly every area of the country and nearly every type of target. The number of raids has steadily increased. There were 23,500 missions (usually with two to five planes in each mission) in 1966; so far this year, nearly 22,000 missions have been flown.

It is effective against the whole catalogue of viruses, but its protection may last only...

Rather than characterizing people through details such as revealing gestures and speech patterns, he presents unconvincing, over-simplified generalizations about them. He substitutes dull and predictable dialogue for the illuminating conversations in his earlier books. And rather than satirizing his characters subtly and skillfully, he indulges in painfully obvious satire. (This heavy-handed treatment may, of course, reflect the pressing concern about America which motivated the book...
