...expensive, Johnson did not say. The unsuccessful Senate bill would have provided $2.8 billion for two years to employ 500,000. Congress gave just $1.77 billion to the entire poverty program for the current fiscal year, and that only after a rough fight. If Johnson seriously pushes a major new job scheme in an election year when taxes and Government spending are already high on the agenda of bitter issues, he can expect a more grinding scrap on Capitol Hill than...
...invested in the U.S. in the 191 years of the Republic. Americans now control 80% of Europe's computer business, 90% of the microcircuit industry, 40% of its automaking, and sizable shares of chemicals, farm machinery and oil.

...quite surprising that there are no major studies showing just how effective discovery courses have been. Spot checks, however, indicate that students who have mastered the new approach do well on college entrance exams and have little difficulty in their college science courses-even though these rarely employ the discovery method. Such students, contends Dr. Keith Kelson, deputy associate director of the National Science Foundation, "no longer accept flat statements from professors-they have a distinct show-me-and-prove-it attitude...
