Symbolic Arrests. The biggest turnout was in Manhattan, where a crowd of up to 2,000 surrounded the Whitehall Street induction center near city hall, and surged through the rest of Manhattan playing antidraft tag with twice as many cops for four straight days. Greeted by freezing temperatures and the ominous rattle of police billies on the barricades, the demonstrators never managed to reach the main door of the center. Police allowed Dr. Benjamin Spock, Poet Allen Ginsberg and Author Susan Sontag, among others, to sit-in symbolically on the cold stone steps, then just as symbolically arrested them...
...significance of these two songs above and beyond their new album, "Magical Mystery Tour", is evident in their pre-release as a single. The first, (I am the Walrus), is their most erudite, least musical, and longest ever; as the Beatles biggest extravaganza, it's even more enigmatic than "Strawberry Fields...
...SUPERSONIC TRANSPORT. The SST is much more than a flying frill. The $142 million that Congress authorized for it this year will go far to improve the U.S.'s worst international financial problem: the balance of payments.

Inevitably, anything that so permeates the life of a nation is bound to affect its economy. Music is a $30 million item on Austria's national and regional budgets, and it is the cornerstone of the country's biggest industry, the annual $600 million tourist trade. The Vienna State Opera's $10 million subsidy is bigger than the budget for the entire Austrian foreign service. With ten major orchestras and seven opera houses, Austria has ample opportunities for musicians, and 4,000 of its youngsters are currently studying music with an eye to sharing in the rewards...
Depending on the outcome of any legal action, the new railroad is prepared to begin merged operations almost immediately. The first and biggest step will be to inaugurate straight-through freight service from Chicago to the West Coast, with savings in time and money for both the railroad and its shippers. After that will come capital outlays for an electronic freight yard in Minneapolis and expanded freight facilities in Spokane and Seattle. As projected, the management lineup-which could stand some streamlining-would have Great Northern President John M. Budd as chairman and chief executive of the new company, Burlington...
