Even before the 1,698 pages got to Congress, events threatened to overtake the budget. The Reserve forces called up cost $10 million a month while on active duty, and if they are kept in that status, the cost reduction of 13,000 mustered-out servicemen predicted by the budget will be canceled out. What further ripples will spread from the U.S.S. Pueblo can only be guessed...
...seamen strong. In addition, a people's militia of 1,200,000 men and women stands trained and ready to fight. But this muscle has been built at a tremendous cost to the welfare of North Koreans: the military takes some 30% of the nation's budget.

...thankfully stripped of most of its money-losing ventures, Commonwealth is eagerly looking ahead to expansion in oil, motion pictures and service industries for its next growth. As a start, the company agreed last month to buy Hollywood's Television Enterprises Corp., a privately owned maker of low-budget films. Since the divorce plan was divulged, Sunasco shares have gone from a December low of $7.63 on the New York Stock Exchange to $9.38 last week. For sheer corporate melodrama, Rozet's rescue might make a film itself...
