...defeat of the Administration's Urban Affairs proposal reflects not only inept politics, but also the revolt of the voters against more and bigger Government. We're just damned tired of attempts by the Executive to control everything from Washington; we Hoosiers think Kennedy is power mad and that he and his Administration are a genuine danger to our country...
Bulls & Chickens. In this case, as in thousands of others, the courts will decide on the merits of claims and on dollar amounts. But beyond the courtroom looms the bigger question of how the U.S. proposes to accommodate itself to an ever noisier jet age. The first railroad trains scared the living daylights out of people; in the early 1800s, anti-railroad interests spread dark warnings among farmers that the trains made bulls impotent and dried up cows' udders. For the air age, the classic case was U.S. v. Causby (1946), in which the Supreme Court held that...
McDonald wanted a token wage hike plus a many-fringed package to soften layoffs and spread the work: bigger unemployment benefits, longer vacations, higher pensions, and 13-week sabbaticals for 20-year veterans.

The steel companies countered with a 5? to 7? proposal, or about 1.5%¶somewhat less than the steel industry's annual productivity gain of about...

...Martin Co. In 1939, ignoring scoffers who said the airframe industry was already overcrowded, he took $30,000 in savings and $135,000 in borrowed money and set up his own twelve-man shop at the St. Louis airport. After learning the ropes primarily as a subcontractor for bigger companies during World War II, McDonnell at war's end delivered the first carrier-based jet fighter -the Phantom I. Since then a $2 billion succession of Banshees, Demons and Voodoos has made McDonnell a perennial contender for the title of world's largest builder of jet fighters...
