Universal Military Service urged by Conant in Look
Harvard president James Bryant Conant, a key adviser on defense, calls in Look for a law mandating two years of military service starting at 18 or after high school. He would remove deferments for college and require all men to serve, with unfit roles for the physically unable. He warns such a program would strain higher education but argues it is necessary to field 3.0 to 3.5 million armed men for Europe and national survival. The piece also notes the president’s press secretary Charlie Ross and shifts to lighthearted male beauty advice columns for forty-somethings, contrasting serious policy with satirical commentary.
