...tenth consecutive year, a U.S. President sent a mutual-security foreign-aid program to Congress, and Dwight Eisenhower's 1960 model had worn and familiar lines. A multibillion-dollar aid program, acknowledged Ike to a moderately hostile Congress, is now "a fixed national policy." And then he requested a budget-rattling $4,175,000,000 for fiscal...

By putting 5,850 new second lieutenants on active duty this year, ROTC will fill 69% of the Army's need for new officers. But is compulsion necessary? The Navy's volunteer ROTC program includes a first-rate scholarship scheme that produces fine officers with fewer dropouts. The Air Force is already trying to end the massive "lost motion" of its semi-compulsory ROTC program (TIME. Dec. 28). Some Pentagon experts estimate that half the Army's college units could lose their compulsory status...
