...merit in retaining stern discipline. A West Point cadet was dismissed last month because he had claimed to have shined his shoes, then voluntarily admitted that he had lied. But cadets can wear blazers on weekends, the high, stiff uniform collars are gone and, notes one colonel in a swipe at Zumwalt and Westmoreland, "We removed reveille two years ago, but we didn't call a press conference to announce...
...Ottinger (4) in assailing Charles Goodell (5), who already feels the weight of Sir Spiro's spiked mace. In the heartland of the realm, Howard Metzenbaum of Ohio (6) is threatened by the ax of Robert Taft Jr. (7), while in Tennessee, Albert Gore (8) aims a mighty swipe at William Brock (9). In Florida, Lawton Chiles (10) closes with William Cramer (11), toe-deep in the Gulf of Mexico. And across the water in Texas, Lloyd Bentsen (12) raises his shield against George Bush (13). Finally, out on the Coast, John Tunney (14) wields a boxing glove bludgeon...

In Amman, pro-Nasser and anti-Nasser guerrillas clashed twice, killing at least two of their number and taking rival prisoners. As the splits in Arab unity grew deeper each day, Beirut Columnist Adel Malek declared: "What is really needed...
...generations the quick, routine swipe with an antiseptic swab has been the accepted procedure before every medical injection. But is it necessary, or even effective? Neither, says Dr. Thomas Charles Dann, medical officer of the University College of Swansea in Wales. The usual, perfunctory five-second swabbing of the skin is far too brief for any of the antiseptics used to sterilize the area. As proof that this "routine rub is rubbish," Dann reports in the Lancet that more than 5,000 injections have been given in the past six years at the Swansea medical center without the preshot cleansing...
