President Richard Nixon appointed Tarr as director of the Selective Service System in 1970. The nation had held its first lottery drawing for the draft in December 1969, and Tarr was responsible for implementing the changes, said Dick Flahavan, spokesman for the Selective Service. Before the lottery, local draft boards had control over who was called and who was not.

I know Damon, I was being facetious re the assumption it would be a yank.

 

Oz, France, south Vietnam , north Vietnam, China, Russia and UK (coff) had conscripts....plus Laos, Thailand etc.

The Other Lives obit section in yesterday's Guardian charted the demise of Arabella Campbell. 16 year old heart-failure case who'd just finished her GCSEs and - well - that's about it. Significant in that it might make us question what qualifies for obits. DDP rules would surely count that source.

Age isn't really the issue here; it's the fact that someone with no claim to any significant fame just copped a qualifying write up.
