About a month ago Gasthaus featured the an Liaison officer to the networks. A better title for this Man would be the chief beggar for an. When i cared for patients in the Hospital during the Vietnam War the effects of that War really hit Home. There were Many patients who were dead to All except for their bodies. We As soldiers face that Prospect if the country decides to exert Force to make a Point. We Are Here away from Home while the other 99 percent enjoy a luxury we have forgone remaining at Home. But the . Army must stand in line with other television stations and beg for television programs in which to entertain its troops and their families. We see cancelled programs and late productions because the networks Are Only interested in their profits. The sons and daughters of the network executives Are nol facing a draft because of the All Volunteer Force. You would think that that would be profit enough. I am very tired of american businesses treating the armed forces As just another customer. A bit More gratitude should be shown by those who have opted not to fulfil their obligations of protecting their country.

Until five years ago italians made do with Black and White broadcasts by two state controlled channels whose programs were consistently panned by the critics. A court order has since opened the Way for private stations the government re solved a diplomatic dilemma and started broadcasting in color and the state television added a third Channel to meet the com petition. A recent Survey confirmed the trend to Ward sagging Box office receipts reporting the bulk of an italian s entertainment lira goes for radio and television equipment. Spending on this has been increasing at 8 percent a year while spending on theater and movie tickets has been going Down about 2 percent a year the Survey said. In our country people love to sit in an armchair watching television Reading Little trying their hand at betting not spending much for the movies and not going to the theater said the report commissioned by a publishing group.

By Dick West Washington Dpi i daresay nobody who even casually follows the arms race was amazed to learn the Pentagon is working on an air plane that would be invisible to radar. You could see that one coming with the naked Eye. Since most weapons Are developed to counter other weapons the development of radar those Many years ago made inevitable the eventual development of radar immunity. Thus the Only surprising thing about Ali. New plane was its code name stealth. In pen Ragonese the Basic word form is fac acronym. Defense officials May occasionally use other parts of speech nouns adverbs prepositions Etc. But essentially they talk in acronyms. Take the common everyday manual radar reconnaissance exploitation sys tem. In pen Ragonese that comes out As Makres. An advanced strategic air launched missile is of course an psalm. Which is not to be confused with an Asars advanced synthetic aperture radar system. And so on for As far As the Eye can see. The other Day while leafing through a volume of testimony published by the House subcommittee on defense appropriations i came across a genuine Neo Logies rarity a double acronym. Or More precisely an acronym within an acronym. This unusual specimen was rendered by the Pentagon As ions. At first glance it teemed just another Ordinary run of the Mill acronym. But As translated by the Punu Gonlese glossary it assayed out As integrated operational nudes Detec Tion  Well it was Nice to know the Pentagon has is operation an integrated system for detecting nudes. But what the hell is a nude my initial guess was that nude was a composite of the words nude and  West Point is now coeducational you know. 1 would t do to have cadets run nine around naked. That sort of thing could easily Lead to a Nasty scandal. It therefore would be reasonable to As sume the Pentagon has developed a system for detecting nudity among cadets. It would be reasonable but it would be wrong. Actually according to the aforementioned glossary nudes Means nuclear  but Don t be alarmed. You won t be quizzed on this. I mention it Only by Way of pointing up the peculiarity of the code name  technology aside the thing that makes stealth so phenomenal n the fact that it is not an acronym. The name apparently ref ers to nothing save the air plane s furtive Quality. What a breakthrough even radar itself started out As an acro nym. Radar stood for radio detecting and ranging.
