...puts his hand to seems to last very long. When Eros folded in 1963, it was followed a year later by Fact, which bogged down in exposes of everything from the danger of contact lenses to the uselessness of circumcision -not to mention a psychoanalysis of Barry Goldwater, sight unseen, by a group of overeager psychiatrists. Barry sued for $2,000,000, and the case is set for trial next month. Finding Fact too "grim" for his taste, Ginzburg folded it last summer...
...dead, how can man prove that he lives? Rational proofs cannot convince the skeptic; the Bible alone is authority only to the convinced believer; the demythologized universe no longer points to an unseen creator. One approach to an answer that appeals more and more to modern Protestant thinkers is the undeniable evidence of religious experience-the intuition men have of their dependence upon God.

Nowhere was the feat more impressive, or its art more instructively displayed, than in the assault on Saigon, the capital city of 2,000,000 people and the core of the allied commands...

The principals may change, the settings may alter, but the essentials are always the same: destruction and death, horror and heroics in a brutal struggle against an unseen enemy of unknown character. The TV correspondents, stern faced and looking somehow too neat and clean-shaven, are omnipresent. But their words, imposed on scenes of stark and often shocking realism, seem superfluous. They say that U.S. casualties have risen 15% over a previous month, that the Army uses more...
