Sour Note. Unlike 1960, when he believes that he spread himself far too thin, the candidate this year will be highly selective with his time and energy, concentrating on television and personal appearances in about 20 key states. Nearly $12 million of a $30 million budget will go to TV, which Nixon now thinks that he has mastered. The TV campaign will begin this week, with reruns of Nixon's Miami Beach ac ceptance speech-in his opinion the finest he has ever made-on both the CBS and NBC television networks. Cost...
With only 2% of NASA's heavily slashed budget at its disposal, the once-ambitious U.S. planetary-exploration program is in danger of expiring before it gets to the launching pad. Anxious to keep from "abandoning the planets to Russia," 23 top space scientists last week recommended a program designed both to appeal to congressional penny pinchers and to reach the planets. In the next seven years, the new plans could take unmanned U.S. spacecraft to Jupiter and beyond...
Economy Preferred. Despite the tight budget squeeze, the space panel stresses the importance of exploratory space flights to Mars and Venus each time the earth's neighbors are in a favorable position-about five or six times a decade. But instead of using complex and expensive Mariner or Voyager spacecraft for these flights, the scientists recommended the older and more economical Pioneer-type craft first launched in 1958. They are smaller than the Mariners and spin at 60 r.p.m., but can be crammed full of sophisticated new instruments. Placed into orbit around the planets, the little craft could return...
...overcome the strike setbacks, Premier Couve de Murville has turned to "the only policy imaginable" - swift economic expansion. In keeping with that goal, the French Cabinet last week unveiled a 1969 budget that calls for an 11% increase in government spending, to $30 billion. While creating a deficit of about $2.5 billion, such outlays are expected to help boost French industrial production by 7% next year, enabling the French economy to achieve a substantial 5½% to 6% growth...
...scandal was the immediate reason for Ruopp's dismissal, but the trustees were also worried, justifiably, about Franconia's precarious financial situation. Although an imaginative educator, Ruopp was unimpressive as a fund raiser. The school was running $100,000 per year in the red on an operating budget of $1,000,000. Insurance companies canceled their policies on the college's buildings, and the banks holding its mortgage threatened to foreclose...
