...phrase was coined by Malcolm Moos, then a White House speechwriter and now president of the University of Minnesota. Eisenhower had asked for ideas for a farewell address on significant issues, and Moos, mindful of Ike's growing concern about a "garrison state," submitted this...
Khabarovsk itself is a garrison city. Soviet troopers throng the streets, and though it is only 20 miles from the Chinese border, no Soviet citizens of Chinese origin are to be seen. Westerners who have been there say the surrounding terrain is flat and bushy, broken by occasional birch forests. The soil is fertile: travelers describe the Amur River basin, in which Khabarovsk lies, as the "breadbasket of the Soviet Far East." For hundreds of miles, from Vladivostok on north, industry has been built up as well. Across the border, in the Chinese provinces of Heilungkiang and Kirin, industry...

Nor is he likely to jettison his whole investigation, which is largely bankrolled by a group of wealthy businessmen that melodramatically calls itself "Truth and Consequences." However, Garrison could get clipped several ways. Shaw has announced that he is considering legal action, which could be either against Garrison or his group of backers. The American Bar Association has hinted that it might want to investigate the D.A.'s "motives." Garrison's real test will take place outside the courtroom...
