In-the bitter resistance to gun-control legislation, evidenced last week when proposals for stronger regulations were hooted down at a meeting of 3,500 Maryland suburbanites as a plot hatched by subversives or "bleeding hearts." In the mushrooming of openly right-wing cabals in big-city police forces, which have now become a major political force on their...
Combat makes a stab or two at humor: But for the most part, Combat lacks the wit that is the distinguishing-and redeeming-feature of its parent publication, National Review.
