...World War II Marine, won a master's degree in economics and political science, and fought in Korea and Viet Nam as a tank commander. He has frequently turned up in Asian hot spots on assignment for the CIA. As commander of the Marines' Combined Action Program in Viet Nam, he led 13-man squads of feisty young leathernecks who gave fresh heart to local ragtag village guards by living and fighting beside them in ex posed hamlets...
...CATV is so useful, why the objections? Opponents argue that the CATV operators gross about $300 million a year (typical charge: $15 for installation, $5 a month service fee) but pay nothing to the people who originate the programming. In the view of the critics, this action is roughly comparable to reprinting somebody else's book without permission.

...proved its potency at steadying the economy. Ironically, Erhard fell as chancellor in 1966 partly because he failed to follow his own doctrine. A euphoric orgy of government overspending helped push the country into an economic slump complicated by a surge of inflation. After the Kiesinger government reimposed a program of austerity by raising taxes and cutting federal spending, West German prices soon stopped climbing. Unemployment has now fallen to a mere 1.3% and during the first quarter of this year industrial productivity soared by an astonishing 10%. Symbolizing that performance, the Deutsche mark today ranks as the most stable...
