Perhaps your story on General Ben Chidlaw and the Continental Air Defense Command [Dec. 20] will make the people of the U.S. a little more aware of what conditions and threats do exist . . . General Chidlaw's fence needs the efforts of every American to hold...
...fact was that the 1954 bull was a different breed from any other that had gone before. From almost every angle he seemed made of muscle. He stood against the background of an entirely new economy made up of many industries that did not even exist in 1929, and with a gross national product more than three times as big. Corporate profits, helped by the death of the excess-profits tax, totaled $17 billion in 1954, down 6% from 1953, but 100% above the 1929 level.

Djilas' proposals were not reported to the Yugoslav people, which made it a little difficult for his second-party movement...
...These 150 institutions do not exist as identifiable colleges . . . but their component part are scattered among colleges throughout the land. They represent, in fact, non-productive investments in education. Assuming a capital investment of $2,000 per student . . . and an expenditure per student of $400 . . . this means unused capital of $300,000,000 and wasted expenditure to the amount of $60,000,0000 a year . . . This, be it noted, could purchase a lot of good education. It is a high price to pay for the slogan that everyone should have his chance...
