DEEP IN THE winter of 1965 the Beatles released an album titled Beatles for Sale that contained such songs as "I'm a Loser," "Baby's in Black," "Mr. Moonlight." They were nice songs all and strikingly performed as usual, but that album left one with the distinct feeling that the Beatles were treading water, that they were not uncovering any fresh musical resources, that they were not making any further additions to the existing stock of their achievement. Instead, that album represented a consolidation, a wrapping up of all the Beatles' loose ends in a last burst of splendid...
...order and placed him near the very top of his ideal society, endowing him with special wisdom, strength and patience. The U.S. has put its guardians near the bottom. In most places, the pay for an experienced policeman is less than $7,000 a year, forcing many cops to moonlight and some to take bribes. Fear and loneliness are routine hazards. Last year 76 American policemen were killed and 10,770 injured by assault. "Everything you do is more or less on your own," says Christos Kasaras, a patrolman on Manhattan's West Side.

Called up in May, they have since been hiking through the Georgia pinewoods around Fort Benning's ranger school. "We start with physical training at 5;30 in the morning, and we patrol most of the day," details Captain Kenneth Himsel, 30, an insurance executive. "We're not in the army to moonlight...
...technical wizardry that makes the scopes work. Unlike the World War II infantry sniperscope that illuminated its target with an infra-red beam, the starlight scope needs no light of its own. Thus it is undetectable by enemy sensors. It uses only natural light, no matter how dim-moonlight, starlight, even the faint luminescence of decaying jungle foliage. Capable of amplifying light up to 40,000 times, it literally treats the darkest night...
