...expected, pay and allowances were the major gripes among airmen of all ranks-but it also became clear that it would not take much of a pay raise to make the services genuinely competitive with civilian industry. The airmen wanted more and better housing for their families, improved maternity care for their wives...
Labor is lavished on livestock. For example, one woman is assigned to care for ten cows. This is all she does, spending her time feeding, cleaning and watching. In [the U.S.] the care of ten cows would constitute one of a number of chores to be done in a few minutes each morning and night...

From that moment on, Salem, then 31, took full charge of all affairs concerning the Sudan, a vast million-square-mile colony itching to break the bond that for the past 56 years has bound it to the joint control of Great Britain and Egypt...
...consolidation of school districts-and easing the teacher shortage-e.g., by encouraging more future teachers' clubs. The conferences produced figures to show that the state needs $20 million to make up for its shortage of classrooms, and that it will need $22 million more to take care of swelling enrollments by 1960.

In the past two years, the study revealed, 22.5% of South Dakota's high schools did not teach plane geometry, 63.8% offered no advanced mathematics, 43.8% had no physics, 43.1% no chemistry...
Aircraft designers, forever increasing the capabilities of their planes, must constantly make expensive compromises to take care of the pilot. Until Medico Stapp came along with his cool scientist's insistence on using himself as guinea pig, fighter-planes were built to stand an expected stress of nine gs. It hardly seemed worth while to make them stronger. The human body, the engineers insisted (and most doctors believed), could not take greater physical strain. Not the machine but man himself appeared to be limiting man's conquest of the jet age. However the engineers tried, they could...
