...districts themselves, have begun a campaign to eliminate wealthy districts from the Title I rolls and concentrate the money in districts where poverty is something more than a curiosity recorded in 1960 census figures. The USOE has asked state education departments to use up-to-date welfare statistics to allot the money so that it will go to the most needy districts.

Despite the parsimonious mood of Congress, McNamara is criticized for having failed to allot enough defense funds for long-range planning. For three years, the war has forced the Pentagon to skimp on research and development. Says John S. Foster Jr., 45, director of defense research and engineering: "If this trend were allowed to continue, our national technological position soon would be crippled...
...sure, Rockefeller's subject was not the stuff that stirs hurrahs. The New York Governor called for a nationwide, decade-long assault on urban atrophy. To be financed largely by issuance of bonds, his program would allot $30 billion to schools, parks and mass transit, and $60 billion to universities, hospitals and middle-income housing.

In the U.S., 700,000 people work at R & D for industry v. 187,000 in next-most-active Japan. U.S. corporations allot $21 billion to research, six times what the Common Market spends. Americans can also be terrifyingly ingenious. Ford, creating Ford Europe, linked engineering centers at Dunton, England, and Cologne to Detroit by telephone cable in order that designers abroad could use the Dearborn computer...
