Mansfield Eyes Troop Cut in Europe
Senate Democratic leader Mike Mansfield plans to reintroduce his resolution calling for a substantial reduction of U.S. troops in Europe. He is backed by Sen. Stuart Symington and Sen. J. William Fulbright, who supported a similar line in a separate interview. The push follows the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia and debates over base closures and troop commitments.

Gary Steven Krist began life in prison after a jury found him guilty of kidnapping Emory University student Ruth Eisemann Schier and burying her in a plywood box. The ransom was paid by her father, Robert Mackie of Miami, totaling $500 000. The jury recommended mercy, making a life sentence mandatory, and Krist plans to appeal. He criticized the FBI and reflected on future imagined escapes. Schier faces trial next month.

Army Researchers Find Fatigue Evidence Nil
Army researchers after two years and 2800 Vietnam battles found little evidence of combat fatigue among soldiers. Certainty they will return home after one year, brief firefights, and quick medical care help reduce fatigue. Findings also note soldiers push through pain to protect comrades and objectives, a longstanding pattern in warfare.
