...budget for 1967," said the President, "bears the strong imprint of the troubled world we live in." The figures presented to Congress this week bore him out. The Federal Government's 1966-67 administrative budget totals a record $112.8 billion, $6.4 billion more than the expected spending for the current fiscal year...
Holding the child's interest is vital to programmed instruction, since each child works alone at his own pace. Breaking reading down to simple steps that lead a child progressively toward more difficult words, yet do not bore him, was Sullivan's greatest problem. His first attempts failed badly.

Even a programmed version of a Sears, Roebuck catalogue did five times better. "We were terribly discouraged," recalls...
...morning after his death, Premier Kosygin and President Ayub Khan shouldered Shastri's coffin and bore it to a blue-and-silver Soviet Aeroflot IL-18 airliner for the 3½-hour flight to a mourning New Delhi and reunion with Shastri's grief-stricken family.

...question about who would win, because all the big stars-Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, Oscar Robertson-were on one side. The East had already won the game three years in a row, and had no trouble making it four straight, 137-94.
