...comic publishers have begun catering heavily to this market with such complete reprint series as Fantagraphics' Krazy and Ignatz, reprinting George Herriman's "Krazy Cat," and their best-selling Complete Peanuts line of hardcovers.

This was an extraordinarily difficult moment for President Johnson. I never hesitated to disagree with a unanimous recommendation of the Joint Chiefs if I felt it was the wrong decision. In this case, however, Congress had already passed a law authorizing production of the ABM system.
