The Iran and Af- ghanistan crises topped the headlines and because of these events the United States was forced to evaluate the strength of their armed forces.

Even that wonderful nose of his was a thing of beauty, comedian Lucille Ball said of the man that was known to his friends and fans as Schnoz- zolaf' Fashion 5 , ,- nip 3 , ' .g...s1,. -A.
