Environment will undoubtedly contain its share of grim trends and events, but it will by no means be devoted only to gloomy news. Pessimists believe that much environmental destruction is irreversible. Optimists argue that technology and will power can salvage the situation. To that end, Environment will describe the exciting ideas of architects, city planners, ecologists, engineers, politicians and plain people. These ideas will include, among many others, dispersing glutted populations, building new experimental cities, designing steam and electric autos, restructuring mass transit, recycling all kinds of waste -and in general making this world a more liveable place...
...could not disguise American failures at home. That fact has already become a thundering cliche, and one that promises to be heard for a long time. If we can put men on the moon, why can't we build adequate housing? Or feed all citizens adequately? Or end social and economic injustices? (Or even make the airlines run on time?)

...House committee's action and by the probability of a House floor vote before the summer recess begins Aug. 13, Senate Democratic leaders lost no time in pressing their new advantage. Mansfield offered to extend the surtax promptly, but that would take it only to the end of November. A further extension vote by the Senate, he said, would come only after the Ways and Means reform package had made its way through both the House and Senate to the President's desk. Republicans denounced the proposition, and Minority Leader Everett Dirksen said that he could not accept...
