...issue of TIME has been called to my attention, in which it is stated: ''The Democratic leaders of the big key states are still unimpressed, and some, notably Pennsylvania's Governor Dave Lawrence, are against the [Senator] Kennedy [presidential] candidacy...
Early next morning, Ike met for more than an hour with Civilian Space Boss T. Keith Glennan, who bid for a big increase over the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's present $500,575,000 budget. Ike gave no sign of his response. No sooner had Glennan left than the President posted an order to the Joint Chiefs of Staff, summoning them to an 8:30 a.m. meeting next day. Then, heeding a forecast of afternoon showers, Ike cut short morning paper work, laced on his golf shoes and headed off for the first...
...atomic age, the pushbutton big wars as well as the brushfire small wars must be fought with forces-in-being, cutting sharply the utility of the civilian reserves that were so effective in World War II and Korea.

Williams is big and fast, and can pass; he sat out most of the season with injuries, but looked good in the Yale game. Mcintyre, the team's best punter, was running almost as well as Boulris for a while against Penn; he too was bothered by injuries this year. Shipman, Damis and Armstrong will be speedy and capable replacements...
