Some day, perhaps, the air will be fully automated, a three-dimensional slot car track with computer-controlled aircraft shuffling around the sky without crowding or possible human error. Meanwhile, the Senate last week passed a bill exempting the FAA from blanket manpower cuts, enabling the agency to hire 3,627 more air controllers at a cost of $145 million. Once hired, they will take two years to train...
When all the performances in a play are excellent, a reviewer must unfortunately limit his mentions as much as if the cast were mainly bad. So I will gave a blanket endorsement to all the players for their surpassing intelligence and sensitivity and dwell on one. I have usually found male leads at Harvard unimpressive and Tommy Jones, in particular, has seemed to be not quite right in his previous parts. In this play however, Jones, is a startling presence--uncrowded in his movements, silken in speech, his mettle is of high quality...
...such conciliatory measures, then taken credit for them when they came. But it did not, scorning Bayard Rustin's earlier list of reasonable, attainable goals. Instead, the Southern Christian Leadership Council's inner circle running the campaign demanded drastic change in America's economic system, including blanket income guarantees to the poor.

...From machines, the boy switched his self-identification to eggs and chickens, which at least were living things. Literally returning to infancy during psychotherapy, he put the second fantasy to ultimate use. On the day Joey first crossed the border to the world of humans, he crawled under a blanket-covered table, cackled excitedly, flapped his "wings," then grew silent. "I laid myself an egg," he said moments later. "Then I hatched myself and gave birth to me." Joey spent six years at the Orthogenic School. Restored, he has since finished high school, and now works as a TV repairman...
Ordered Normality. That the U.S. is tortured cannot be denied. That it is gravely sick is too simplistic a view. After the first spastic reaction to the Kennedy murder (see PRESS), most commentators rejected a blanket diagnosis of disease while at the same time refusing to completely absolve U.S. society and civilization for what had happened. John Kenneth Galbraith, no Pollyanna when it comes to national flaws, observed last week that "the greater danger in our day than violence is unfocused selfcriticism. Nothing so serves as an excuse from reality...
