...restless intellectually as he was physically, Malraux roundly denounced Communism after the Soviet-Nazi pact, became just as disgusted with the paralysis of France's postwar government when he tried his hand as a De Gaulle lieutenant after the war. "To know how foul it really is," he wrote, "one must be married to it, and be frustrated as a man is by a wife with whom he is hopelessly coupled." Convinced that De Gaulle was the only man capable of changing this foulness, he became his chief adviser and closest political intimate. For six years, this curious alliance...

...augmentation units. The alert squadrons, like others throughout the U.S., scramble three or four times a day. Their sleek interceptors are always armed, fueled and ready to roll, with the lead pair parked on the take-off strip and two more right behind. As at every air-defense base, restless jet pilots are always waiting in the ready shack for the buzzer-the loud rasping signal to scramble. "It sounds pretty awful," said one Kirtland pilot to a newsman sharing his vigil, "after you've been here six months...
