...fiscal 1970. Total defense outlays will creep up only $500 million to $81.5 billion, and the proportion going for Viet Nam will drop, for the first time, from 35.5% to 31.2%-partly because the costly bombing of North Viet Nam has been cut back sharply, partly because major base construction is now nearly complete. Administration officials were careful to say that the cut signified no lessening of the U.S. war effort...
...wealth rests not only on a huge industrial base but it also derives from the greatest inventory of scientific knowledge ever accumulated. Starting from a modest $74 million in 1940, the Federal Government steadily expanded its subsidy of scientific research and development to a peak of $16.7 billion in 1967. Though since cut back because of the Viet Nam war, this investment has added enormously to U.S. resources. In the fields of physics, chemistry, medicine and physiology, Americans have won 31 out of 63 Nobel prizes. Among the discoveries in pure science attributed to American scholars in the last decade...
...labor and the universities are intertwined and obviously will become more so.

But the bright red Chipmunk craft nonchalantly settled to a perfect landing and taxied over to a hangar. There, a crowd of R.A.F. officers raised a cheer. Out of the plane stepped Britain's Prince Charles, flashing a broad grin. After 14 hours of instruction, the 20-year-old heir...
Somehow the Harts and other white ranchers whose land is in the disputed area got together with the Venezuelan air force, and soon a Venezuelan plane landed at Harry Hart's ranch. About 40 ranchers flew off to a Venezuelan army training base, where they got automatic rifles, bazookas and instruction in how to use them. Just after New Year, the plane flew the rebels back to the Harts' domain, and the pocket revolution...
