Touchstone of Grit. Then came the recent wave of white, blues-oriented rock. King's guitar style suddenly started echoing through the playing of gifted youngsters like Mike Bloomfield, Eric Clapton and Larry Coryell, who singled him out as a touchstone of musical sincerity and grit. Two years ago, King made his debut at San Francisco's temple of rock, the Fillmore Auditorium. In the past year, he has made his first European tour and started getting college concert dates. And he has just finished his first extended Manhattan-nightclub booking, a week at the Village Gate...
...from the ROTC program. The Army ROTC needs 18,000 new 2nd lieutenants each year to meet normal attrition. We met that goal last year and expect to meet it again this year. For some years before that, we had serious shortfalls. There is little question that the current wave of anti-ROTC sentiment, unless reversed by exemplary action on the part of ROTC host institutions, will have serious impact upon ROTC production figures in the immediate future...
Protest demonstrations blossomed at once. In a graver incident, an American reconnaissance jet last June crashed into a college computer center near the Itazuke Air Base. No one was hurt, but another wave of demonstrations spread throughout the country. The jet's wreckage still lies on the campus; radical students have prevented its removal...
...even more expensive-to jam programs selectively than it is to send them. Western broadcasters get their programs through either by taking advantage of Soviet technical lapses or by employing classified tricks of their own. And once through the barriers, they have an eager and well-equipped audience. Short-wave transmitters are much more common in the Soviet Union than in other nations because the vast size of the nation makes short-wave transmission the most practical way to reach the entire country. Perhaps as many as 30 million receivers are now in use, and listeners have become so fond...
...There are two major jamming techniques used by the U.S.S.R. One, called ground-wave jamming, employs a local transmitter that blocks a selected frequency with either a garbling distortion signal or by overriding another program with a Soviet program. This technique, however, works well only within a three-mile radius of the transmitter. Sky-wave jamming, the second technique, calls for transmission from a point as far away as the source of the outside signal. This requires expensive tower construction in remote areas and constant monitoring of the ionosphere, off which radio waves are bounced from sender to receiver...
