Since Mamie Eisenhower christened the Savannah in 1959, the streamlined, white-hulled ship has plied an ever-deepening sea of red ink. The world's first nuclear-powered merchantman cost the Government $82 million to build and up to $2,700,000 a year in subsidies to keep afloat. She sailed in May on a transpacific voyage that may well be her last, if the Senate-which scheduled hearings on her fate this week-decides that the ship, handsome as she is, is not worth her keep...
...Away. To save the earth, they decided, it would be necessary to launch a salvo of hydrogen bombs into the asteroid's path. To loft the warheads, the U.S. could rush to completion five Saturn 5 Apollo rockets now under construction and build four more from scratch. A second Saturn launch pad now under construction at Cape Kennedy should be completed, and a third could be built. The Atomic Energy Commission would be requested to assemble six 100-megaton H-bomb warheads, the minimum size necessary to attack Icarus effectively...
Total Mobilization. Some of them had interests so specialized that even other scientists could not understand their presentations. Houck had expected this. He had wanted the meeting to build bridges of communication between men who had never heard of one another's work, and that it did. And the scientists concurred on some basic aspects of the subject that will be important in the treatment of patients-some, admittedly, in the distant future, but others perhaps immediately...

Rejecting the dogmatism of the old Socialist and Communist parties, they have stretched their ideological tent to include anyone feeling the frustration and anomie of "dehumanizing" modern society...
...relies on puritanical cadre-like working class, comprising skilled as well as unskilled blue collar labor, has organization, secrecy and dictatorial leadership. Neither the revisionists (CP) nor the Maoists (PL) accept truly democratic methods of decision making internally, and both groups have grubby, materialistic values. But in order to build a movement among adults who are repelled by the old Left and alienated from present society, SDS must develop an entirely new ideology. It must show these adults how their personal sense of alienation relates to the overall structure of decision making. "To reach these people," says Calvert, "we must...
