Editorial Calls Military Justice Reform After Calley Tragedy
Law professor Telford Taylor argues for major changes to U S military justice citing jurisdictional defects from 1955 limits on court martial and flawed procedures for charging high ranking officers. He proposes an independent military legal department with prosecutorial authority subject to secretary of the Army review. Regardless of views on Calley, My Lai, or Vietnam, Taylor’s critique is sound.

No-Trump Hand Leads to Grand Slam Clash
Oswald and James Jacoby discuss Jan Wohlin hands with Jacoby MOCOD ERN bidding. North bids slam on a balanced 8 HCP, West opens spade king, South counts winners and the 12th trick. South lets West win first to rectify count, then wins hearts and clubs to reach 11 of West's 13 cards. Diamonds show, dummy king collected, finesses against East jack.
