Actually, U.S. defense planners still see no real military need for a new nuclear force in NATO, since the U.S. striking power is so great. Used to big numbers, they dismiss De Gaulle's force as being less than 2% of the striking power of U.S. missiles and aircraft. But at that, De Gaulle's Mirage IV and Etendard IV planes will carry 50-kiloton bombs-more than twice the power of the bomb that leveled Hiroshima. As part of McNamara's conviction that the manned bomber will soon be obsolete, De Gaulle's force will...
...Brighton, England, now think that it does. They have taken another short but promising step toward control of viral infections by using IDU against herpes simplex, the virus of fever blisters, in cases where the sores had broken out on the upper lip, nostril or cheek. Doctors usually dismiss cold sores as trivial, but the virus may cause a fatal inflammation if it spreads to the brain; it can cause blindness if it reaches the eyes. Some of the British patients already had corneal infections...
...Said Bell, with a dry smile: "Forty-five billion." The bigness of that number proved to be prophetic. As Budget Director, Bell regarded spiraling expenditures and gaudy deficits with a cheerfulness that enraged congressional conservatives. Last summer Virginia's Democratic Senator Harry F. Byrd called upon Kennedy to dismiss Bell because he lacked the "requirements of fiscal responsibility and discipline." Far from firing him, Kennedy counted Bell as one of his most valuable advisers...
...past six months of violence, the FBI has made only one arrest, and that followed the bombing of a church in which an FBI man had been injured. One can dismiss as irrelevant the accusation leveled recently by two dissident agents that the Bureau is led and staffed by racially biased men. More significant is the fact that in the South the Bureau must work hand in hand with local police on a myriad of law-enforcement matters, ranging from postal fraud to moonshine liquor. The individual agents have found it impractical, maybe impossible, to disrupt the network of friends...
...half hours in Sanders listening to almost thirty separate numbers. They all were admirably performed but only a very few had much musical substance; the total effect cloyed with its emptiness as much as those long-play records of "gems from the classical repertoire." Now please don't dismiss me as a fellow who can't bear anything less weighty than the Missa Solemnis. In fact, I enjoyed the football songs as much as anything else. The trouble is that almost a whole program of arranged folk songs and slight classics serves no one's interest well...
