Periodically, the editors of TIME re-examine and redefine the lengthy roster of departments within which they try to present the significant news events of the week. Occasionally, a section is renamed in the interests of clarity or simplicity; veteran readers may recall that in 1961 National Affairs and Foreign News emerged as The Nation and The World. Sometimes new sections are created, others abandoned, older ones revived. The Law, for example, which was present in TIME'S first issue in March 1923, all but disappeared a few years later, then reappeared in 1963. In 1958, TV & Radio...
Civilian reservations about volunteer armed forces also focus on some fears that tend to dissolve upon examination. Some critics have raised the specter of well-paid careerists becoming either mercenaries or a "state within a state." Nixon, for one, dismisses the mercenary argument as nonsense. The U.S. already pays soldiers a salary. Why should a rise in pay-which for an enlisted man might go from the present $2,900 a year to as much as $7,300-turn Americans into mercenaries?

In fact, they are perhaps the least likely group within SDS to think it enough to destroy without rebuilding. For their position on this point (and so far as I understand it I agree with it) is precisely that you cannot destroy something unless you already have the potential to build in its place.

...lines of communications within Brandeis have always been open and have been blocked only by the force employed by those who have seized the facilities," Abrams said. He went on to defend the university's record in dealing with black programs...
...that it is fragmented and inefficient. The average European farm is less than 25 acres (v. at least 350 acres in the U.S.), and three out of four plots are too small to maintain a family. To effect a change, Mansholt aims to reduce the number of European farmers within the next decade from 10 million to 5,000,000. He suggests that governments use financial incentives to induce old farmers to retire early and to voluntarily sell their farms to neighbors. That would help to meld tiny plots into bigger, more efficient "modern farm units...
