...COLUMBIA-LAFAYETTE: How optimistic can you be about a team rated seventh worst among major college squads? Last year. Lafayette crushed Columbia and Marty Domres, 36-14. Lafayette is better than last year. and Columbia, girl cheerleaders and all is worse. This is a battle between the Lions and the Leopards, and I'm afraid the order of the jungle will have to be forgotten. Besides, my brother plays the drums for Lafayette. Leopards...
SAIGON: Spotted around the capital are three divisions that are generally conceded to be South Viet Nam's most ineffectual. A U.S. general calls the 5th "absolutely the worst outfit I've ever seen," and a Vietnamese General Staff member was quoted as saying that until last year the 25th was "the worst division ever to enter any battlefield east of Suez."

The blunderbuss approach to marijuana creates widespread disrespect for all law among young people; perhaps worst of all, it makes it difficult for young people to believe adults' warnings about other drugs, and discourages the young who need medical help and advice from seeking...
...Europe during World War II, has dug up the corpse of the "1,000-year Reich" and considers how Kiesinger's Germany could have risen from its grave-a Babbitt out of Buchenwald. He discusses Allied punishment of war crimes, which was limited to a handful of the worst offenders. But his main concern, as the title implies, is denazification, the broader program of combined punishment and re-education variously applied to hundreds of thousands of Germans by the occupying powers. His book raises questions of conscience which, though they can never be satisfactorily settled, will perplex society...
