He cites Yalta decisions, pressure from Churchill, and a need to block Soviet advances while honoring alliance terms, stressing political responsibility for policy.
The Selective Services polled 650 youths across 56 committees on Nixon era draft proposals.

He cites Dr Denis Burkitt noting colon cancer is rarer in undeveloped regions and attributes risk to low residue diets rich in white bread sugar and fat. Emphasizes increasing vegetables fruits and unrefined grains to improve bowel movement and reduce constipation.
