...Department's Advanced Research Projects Agency, headed by Roy Johnson, sometime General Electric executive, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, headed by T. Keith Glennan, engineer, ex-Hollywood studio manager and president-on-leave of Cleveland's Case Institute of Technology. Neither ARPA nor NASA has enough authority or resources to set long-range goals and march toward them.

Shortness of of memory is an assiduously cultivated habit among embarrassed politicians and one that in general comes easily to voters (but not often enough, many defeated incumbents will tell you) so the exaggerated spirit of last fall already sounds clearly inconceivable.
