Editorial charges Johnson used McNamara affair to hide defense failures. It cites mismanaged missiles, bombers cutbacks, faulty M16 rifles, equipment shortages, and a costly purchasing scandal at the Pentagon. The piece argues McNamara’s denials and Johnson’s veto power misled the public about U.S. war strategy and security.
The piece argues that high interest rates touch everyone from taxpayers to municipalities and government bonds. It notes record rates under the Great Society, with taxpayers bearing the extra cost, and quotes the Wall Street Journal on the widespread impact of borrowing costs across goods and services.
The piece extols the exchange as the nation’s democratic financial hub where households and workers can own shares. It notes the exchange’s market, rules, and rapid trades, and contrasts it with scarce Wall Street mystique. It also references the House Committee on Un-American Activities, the Ku Klux Klan, the IRS, and U.S. Vietnam troop moves in 1967.
Reader letters discuss stock picks in the 16 to 25 range, praising gains on King's Department Slaves and American Photo Copy, with caution on speculation. Spear recommends International Rectifier for its threefold position in semiconductors and revival electronics. A reader asks about tax exempt bond mutual funds. Nuveen Tax-Exempt Bond Fund is cited. Prices, publication and ordering details noted.
Buckley challenges Dwight Macdonald to a dramatic public confrontation on civil disobedience. Macdonald declines the shootout style challenge and argues for staged, nonviolent protest while criticizing Buckley’s approach and framing the discourse around draft resistance and legal accountability. The exchange highlights conflicts over publicity, government response, and the ethics of lawbreaking.
A reader letter cites medical investigators and Dr. Oster to argue exposure to cold has little effect on pneumonia risk. The writer defends his view that cold and damp do not destroy immunity and criticizes parents overbundling children. The piece includes a signed health column closing with Dr. William Brady’s address for letters.
Mary Yarborough interviews Mrs Crane on public curiosity about her looks and life. The column covers Mrs Crane height weight and personal details, notes her hobbies, public service, family losses, and work history, plus how readers request personalized prints and tests for husbands and wives.
A fragmentary mash of verse and prose notes on animals from periodical folklore. It mentions dogs named Un satisfied Yearning and Scampers, a dog howling at entry, a cat seeking warmth, and stray lines from authors Wade Munkilirick and Ben King. The text lacks coherent narrative or dates.
After recent antidraft demonstrations in Manhattan I find them dull compared with Civil War mobs opposing the draft. The piece notes long-ago riots, police deployment, and mixed views on pacifist activism, criticizing present tactics while defending order and the draft system.
Reader question prompts a Maritime Commission reply. The Savannah, the first nuclear merchant ship, was taken out of service last August after four years of operation. Officials say ongoing costs exceeded revenues and disposal remains undecided. The ship had faced financial and labor troubles since its inception, with maintenance and training costs totaling over $4 million annually. Some reports suggest mothballing at about $1 million per year while insurance barriers and market conditions limited its use.
