 | Supporting Expeditionary Aerospace Forces by Amatzia Feinberg, Hyman L. Shulman, Louis Miller, Robert S. Tripp, Rand Corporation Staff
As part of a larger study of support for Expeditionary Aerospace Forces, this analysis addresses logistics structure alternatives for meeting demands for Low Altitude Navigation and Targeting Infrared for Night (LANTIRN) across a spectrum of operational requirements. The LANTIRN system consists of two pods (navigation and targeting) employed by F-16s and F-15Es. The study also amends earlier RAND research with new data collected during the air war over Serbia. The authors compare the current decentralized policy, in which intermediate maintenance capabilities are deployed with flying units, with consolidated options in which maintenance capabilities do not deploy. The authors show that consolidating the LANTIRN intermediate maintenance support system may enhance operational flexibility, improve support responsiveness, and decrease the requirements for highly skilled personnel. However, a regional support structure would be more sensitive to transportation delays and require greater cross-organizational communication. The authors also find that new data suggest that the USAF may not have enough support equipment to meet the requirements of two coincident major theater wars. The decision to centralize or decentralize LANTIRN repair operations hinges not on the expected system costs but on the capability and risk levels the Air Force is willing to accommodate.

 | Turn Off Your Mind by Gary Lachman
Turn Off Your Mind: The Mystic Sixties and the Dark Side of the Age of Aquarius ISBN 0-9713942-3-7 How did a decade of love and peace end in Altamont and the Manson Family bloodbath? Gary Lachman explores the sinister dalliance of rock`s high rollers and a new wave of occultists, tying together John Lennon, Timothy Leary, Mick Jagger, Brian Wilson, Charles Manson, Anton LaVey, Jim Morrison, L. Ron Hubbard and many more American cultural icons. The Sixties were a time of revolution-political, social, psychedelic, sexual. But there was another revolution that many historians forget: the rise of a powerful current that permeated pop culture and has been a central influence on it ever since-the revival of the occult. Beliefs that were previously ridiculed took center stage-in the music of The Beatles and the Rolling Stones, in films like `Rosemary`s Baby`, and on the bookshelves, with `Lord of the Rings`, `The Tarot`, and the `Tibetan Book of the Dead` becoming best-sellers. Astrology, kabala, hippies, yogis, witchcraft, Satanism, drugs, UFOs-they all became the common currency they are today. But when Sixties liberationism met the occult-as it did with the Manson murders-it was often with sordid consequences. The author was a founding member of the hit music group Blondie.
