...total of 14, instead will use many of its new troops to flesh out the three stateside divisions of the Strategic Army Force: the 2nd Armored, the 1st Infantry and the 2nd Infantry, all now used largely as training cadres. In addition, new troops will serve to beef up the Seventh Army's five divisions now in Europe. The Army will also put more muscle in the Seventh Army's punch-already explosive with tactical nuclear weapons-by spending $150 million for artillery and combat support units. The new military budget puts aside another $107 million to move...
...voice. Last week her theory worked just fine: the voice had a raw, fitfully feverish cast, but it never became ugly or strident.

The Latin Americans themselves further hamper things by placing restrictive measures on exports in the misguided notion that they are encouraging local processors and manufacturers. Brazil sometimes sets quotas on cotton and sugar exports; Uruguay imposes a 20% surtax on export wool...
...warning of an attack. To speed detection by priceless minutes, the program also steps up work on Midas, a satellite-borne, spy-in-the-sky warning system. To counter an enemy's manned bombers, the bill will improve the Nike-Hercules and Bomarc ground-to-air missiles, beef up the F-101, F-102 and F106 interceptors...
