The Pentagon is far from happy about Little Rock. The South supplies much more than its percentage share of the nation’s professional soldiers, sailors and airmen. A large number of Army and Air Force bases are located in the South. There is much Pentagon concern over the demoralizing effect of the induced integration crisis; and particular resentment about the use of a combat instead of an MP or headquarters unit for the Central High School policing mission. There are even some maverick generals who believe that a Soviet-backed Syria is a graver threat than Central High School to our national security.
Last week’s most un-newsworthy event: On the first decision day of its new season, the Supreme Court freed two more Communists from jail.
