...report's recommendations are as significant as its findings, because they would completely overhaul the command structure. Under the proposed plan, the 27 separate subdivisions that now report directly to the Secretary of Defense would be realigned into three functional groups: one for military operations, one for handling personnel and material resources, and one for managing finances and performing evaluation and testing of weapons systems. Each would be headed by a Deputy Secretary of Defense reporting directly to the Secretary. The Secretary's office staff, now 3,000 persons, would be cut by at least...
...panel also opted for partial disarmament of the powerful Joint Chiefs of Staff. The Chiefs now function in a triple role, serving not only as commanders of their respective services and as military advisers to the President but also as military staff in the chain of operational command between the Secretary of Defense and forces in the field.

He also served as Washington...
...problems of the aged are not their concern alone. Since reaching the age of 70 or 80 is becoming the norm rather than the exception, more and more of the middle-aged - even when they retire - have elderly parents and other relatives to care for. For the "command generation" there are two generation gaps, and the decisions to be made about their parents are often more difficult than those concerning their children. Various community agencies sometimes help, and in Manhattan a private referral service is kept busy helping distraught people find the right place for parents who can no longer...
