Table of Contents

Articles

  • Eisenhower at the Naval War College
    Gen. of the Army Dwight D. Eisenhower
    Most of the major problems that the former President discussed candidly with a predominantly military audience in 1961 still trouble America ten years later.
  • Trends in World and Domestic Fisheries
    Cdr. J. H. Johnson, USNR
    The explosive development of foreign fishing activity in recent years, especially the rapid expansion of foreign fishing off our shores, is but one indication of the sorry state of U. S. fisheries.
  • Professionalism: The Hard Choice
    Col. F. C. Thayer, USAF (Ret.)
    Much of the present disrespect for the military may stem from those officers who, awed by glib civilian superiors, tried to look, talk, and even think like them.
  • The Bear That Swims Like a Fish
    Rear Adm. Kemp Talley, USN (Ret.)
    The grateful Arab states may repay the Soviet bear by permitting him to use the Suez Canal as a springboard to catapult himself into the Indian Ocean.
  • Time to Change
    Lt. Cdr. E. L. Frasier, USN (Ret.)
    Small wonder our country seems to be in such a mess! Our speedometers, rulers, altimeters, protractors, compasses, and clocks are all fouled up.
  • Sundowner Par Excellence
    Adm. J. J. Clark, USN (Ret.)
    Those who knew him well, the author among them, knew that Ernest J. "Jesus" King couldn't walk on water; but he could do almost anything else on it—and under it and over it.
  • Pictorial—The U. S. Coast Guard Academy
    Text by Lt. (j.g.) R. J. Pratte, USCG
    Photography by Chief Photographer's Mate William M. Powers, USN.
