...Your cover article on General Creighton Abrams [April 19], if written 100 years ago, could almost word for word describe General Grant-tactics, strategy, personality-even the cigar, the horsemanship, and the West Point class standing. Grant is still probably the greatest general ever to wear an American uniform. It took him one year after achieving command to end the Civil War. It took only six months to ensure the re-election of a troubled President who at that stage thought himself a failure, and who now is regarded by most as our greatest American...
...except that - in contrast with last summer - black slum dwellers raced to help firemen, not hin der them. The major reason was that black militants such as Playwright Le-Roi Jones had reached a grudging armistice with the city's white authorities (TIME, April 26) and passed the word down to the streets: Cool...

The problem lies in the role of the manager, for that is the name applied to those who engage...
...explanation was ridiculous on the face of it; using a camera less does not make it weigh any less. Shortly after the decision was made, however, word began to circulate in Houston that the true reason for the TV black out was heated opposition from some of the astronauts themselves. The spacemen objected strongly to being seen on worldwide TV in the scraggly beards and rumpled underwear that would show when their helmets and space suits were off. More important, they bridled at the idea that TV would enable ground controllers literally to look over their shoulders during the mission...
