...offered only an estimated $50 million in fresh U.S. aid. They also promised to return to Europe for maneuvers two infantry brigades and four tactical Air Force squadrons that had been repatriated to the U.S. last year, to replace 80 F-102 interceptors with newer Phantom jets, and to build shelters for U.S. planes now parked on open ramps in West Germany and The Netherlands. To this, the Europeans were expected to chip in new expenditures that will total some $450 million...
Impact on Israel. In those days, the Mediterranean was considered an American lake, and the Soviets had just begun to awaken to the potentialities of seapower. In the early '60s, the Soviets began to build up their navy all over the world (TIME cover, Feb. 23). Now the U.S. must reckon with the Soviet force in the Mediterranean-and so must the Israelis.

Computers can do just about everything but leap tall buildings at a single bound, and someday they will be able to do that too. One long-range goal of the technicians in the Artificial Intelligence Lab is to build an "intelligent automaton" that could substitute for men on a Mars expedition. Carrying enough fuel to get to Mars and back seems impossible, so robots will have to go, explore, report back to earth and stay there (safely out of harm's way?). And since there would be a four-minute or worse radio time lag between here and there, communication...
