...production of the B-70 has given him just such an opportunity. Two issues arise from this dispute. The first is whether the U.S. should spend $10 billion to develop the B-70, as the Air Force already has a large fleet of B-47s, B-52s and B-58s. The President and the Secretary of Defense have decided that the U.S. does not, despite LeMay's loud claims for the bomber's usefulness. But LeMay plans to continue his one-man war in Congress. This raises the second issue whether or not a military officer should conduct a campaign...
When Congress specially included $449 million in the Defense bill last month for the production of more long-range B-52s and mediumrange, supersonic B-58s, and to step up study of the supersonic (2,000 m.p.h.) B-70. Defense Secretary Robert McNamara stubbornly insisted that he would not spend the money. Since the Moscow air show, McNamara's attitude is getting sharp new criticism on Capitol Hill. Said Acting Chairman A. Willis Robertson of the Senate's Defense Appropriations Subcommittee: "I feel there have been developments that may entitle us to a second look...
...bombers will continue to play a major role in strategic deterrence. The bill will create the 14th wing of long-range, 650-m.p.h. B-525 and the 2nd wing of mediumrange, 1,300-m.p.h. B58 Hustlers. Kennedy wanted to drop production of both the B-52s and the B-58s in 1962. but the House added $448,840,000 to continue purchase of the bombers and to step up study of the highly controversial 2,000-m.p.h. B-70, which is now in mock-up form. In addition, the bill speeds up development of the 1,000-mile, nuclear-tipped...
...farm tractors will ransom 1,200 Cubans from their homeland, maybe a nuclear submarine or two will redeem the Americans held in Red Chinese jails, and 100 B-58s will persuade the East Germans to release 10,000 of their malcontents...
...only outdoor used-car lot (the "Automart"), in suburban Buenos Aires, looks like its ubiquitous U.S. counterpart run by "Madman Mike" or "Giveaway Gus." Even the sales pitch is the same: "Good Runner!" says a sign plastered to a windshield. But there the similarity ends. Precious few '58s, '59s and '60s shine forth at the Automart. A 1925 T-model Ford is price-tagged at $500; beside it stands a 1930 Dodge at $875; next comes a 1936 British Lagonda for $2,000. If a prospect looks under an ancient hood, he may find...
