...always asked this question of each other, and very often of the FBI, as they look for information that will help an investigation. In 1956 some departments, frustrated by their inability to get data from the cautious FBI, began setting up an organization known as the Law Enforcement Intelligence Unit to share their files on a more systematic basis. Almost unknown to outsiders, L.E.I.U. has since acquired a membership of 227 state and local police departments in the U.S. and Canada. Now, like the FBI a few years ago, L.E.I.U. is being criticized by civil libertarians who suspect...

Dale is the captain of a kinky service entertainment unit attached to beleaguered British troops who are in the process of losing Singapore...
Players is really two pictures. The final match goes five sets, with tie breakers, and it is wonderful, the most believable sports footage one can recall in a fictional feature.

Returning after the war to the devastation of Hamburg...
Essentially, the legislation would consolidate more than 300 Federal education programs administered by approximately 40 agencies into one unit with Cabinet-level jurisdiction and power. Many of the controversial parts of the bill--portions which advocate Department of Education control over Head Start, child nutrition and American Indian education programs, for example--were eliminated from this year's version. Alfred Sumberg, executive director of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) says the legislation is "not watered down, but realistic in terms of what's possible." Nevertheless, lobbying on the bills has been intense and a great deal of money...
