Ronnie Raygun. The underground papers flail away at any handy target. The Worrier was started by students of Los Angeles' University High after the official school paper, the Warrior, called anti-Viet Nam protesters "cowards." While the Worrier assails the war, as do many other underground papers, it seems equally alarmed over school rules against short dresses and long hair. There is something wrong with teachers, argues the Worrier, who are "more interested in their students' legs than in their minds." Belligerently political, the Worrier calls California Governor Ronaid Reagan's administration "the Ronnie Raygun Show...
...Last week the massive "psywar" campaign launched during the four-day Tet truce began to pay off. An estimated 1,000 Viet Cong became Hoi Chanh (returnees) during the week after the holiday began, a record for any week in the war. "More importantly," says U.S. Psy-Warrior M. L. Osborne, "we're finally getting a few oldtimers-men in their 30s and 40s who were with the Viet Minh." In short, even Ho's hardened veterans are getting weary...
Donald Sr. may have been disappointed, but the old warrior gave no sign of it at the meeting, in which he said he was "gratified" by the deal. What may have helped was a check for $69 million that McDonnell brought with him to pay for 1,500,000 shares of Douglas stock. That was the main reason the Douglases had finally come to terms: McDonnell was the only suitable merger prospect that could supply cold cash immediately. Even before the stock-swap merger, which still needs shareholder approval, is completed, the prospect of the deal may defrost lenders...
Such an old warrior is Malcolm Muggeridge [Jan. 6]. "Compulsive readability" he has indeed, but deeper yet, the reader senses a whole man, responding to the falseness, betrayal and insatiety (to use Philip Wylie's expression) of much of modern life. It will be sad if Muggeridge ever rebounds all the way over to the tight little camp of religious orthodoxy. Understandable, but sad. For then free men might lose a vigorous spokesman, standing in the unaffrightable position of Emerson's thinking man, sending out his shafts wherever merited...
...French satellite launched into orbit was nicknamed Astérix. This year, French children are asking Père Noël for the Astérix costumes, dolls and masks that are being sold all over the country. Huge papier-mâché models of the little warrior and his blimpish, pigtailed companion Obélix stare down from Christmas displays in department stores. More than 3,600,000 copies of eight hard-cover Astérix comic books have been sold, and several American publishers have proposed an English-language translation...
