...Department has weakened the nation's worldwide commitments and run dangerously short of combat-ready troops. At a press conference aimed at answering his critics, most notably the Senate's Preparedness Investigating Subcommittee Chairman John Stennis and the New York Times, McNamara last week countered with a cool, 30-page review of U.S. defense capability and some not-so-cool comments...
...dapper, matter-of-fact chap who looks and acts like a prosperous dentist, Baker is short on temperament but long on technique. He is the supreme mechanic of his instrument, and he produces what is surely the most glorious tone that ever came out of a flute: big, round, cool, white, radiant as a September moon...
...original residential character retained without the upheaval of a new project. Yet this New Haven project cost the Federal Government $19.3 million, an average of $130 per city resident. At that per capita rate of expenditure, creating a Wooster Square in every U.S. metropolitan area would cost a cool $13 billion. Another perennial headache for the metropolis is the spiraling cost of mass transportation. Simply to maintain existing systems will cost close to $2 billion a year, while only $155 million in federal money is now available...
...m.p.h. Next came the tricky second stage, a single 225,000-lb.-thrust engine powered by an exotic combination of liquid oxygen (lox) and liquid hydrogen (LH2). While lox boils off at a difficult -290° F., LH2 boils at -423° F., thus requires extreme pressurization to keep cool. Moreover, in weightless space, LH2, like mercury, tends to gather into a ball or spin off into tiny globs; simply to feed the fuel from tank to engines, the second stage was equipped with three fast-burning rockets that exerted enough G force to start the LH2, flowing. All went...

Raymond J. Saulnier, who served under Dwight Eisenhower, said that the time had come to "cool off the economy a bit"; he called for a cut in Government spending, followed, if necessary, by a tax increase. Arthur Burns, who also served Ike, proposed much the same remedies as Saulnier. Even Leon Keyserling, Harry Truman's far-out economist, wanted higher taxes-though not to reduce inflation...
