...victory over Dallas was a typical Packer production fashioned out of both guts and guile. The thermometer in Green Bay stood at 13 below zero, and a 15-m.p.h. wind created a "chill factor" equivalent to 49 below. Packer Quarterback Bart Starr was forced to eat the ball eight times because his receivers were unable to cut properly on the icy field (something the CBS TV cameras never showed). Yet in thelast 5 min., as Dallas led 17-14, Starr coolly, carefully marched his team 69 yds., then took the ball across himself in the final...
...NICB forum, which has been unusually accurate in 22 years of such forecasts, warns that three factors temper optimism about 1968. One is the fact that it is a presidential election year, when the economy often holds up its growth temporarily to await the outcome of the voting. Another is the federal surtax, which the panel expects to come and which will affect both profits and personal spending. The most difficult factor to gauge is defense spending, which is due to rise during the year about $7 billion to $80 billion. Were peace to be negotiated in Viet...
...nickel-cadmium batteries and two 75-lb. lithium batteries being developed by Gulton Industries of Metuchen, NJ. The lithium batteries are for sustained speeds, can store 15 times as much energy per pound as lead-acid batteries now used in conventional cars. For quick acceleration-a safety factor lacking in present electric-car designs-the nickel-cadmium batteries would cut in briefly, could zap the car from a standstill to 50 m.p.h. in 20 seconds. And for longer battery life between charges, the Amitron would have a "regenerative braking system" to generate battery-charging power as the car is slowed...
...National Security Council will probably reject this list and return to the President's original recommendations. The reasons are many. The most important factor is that the Committee based its recommendations on the assumption that the "oldest-first" system would be retained, which it will not. In testimony before the Senate Sub-Committee on Employment, Manpower, and Poverty last March, Secretary of Labor W. Willard Wirtz said that if 19-year-olds and some older men are drafted, there is no justification for educational and occupational deferments strictly from a consideration of civilian manpower supply...
Starzl (1966, p. 98) has spoken of "the declining curve of life," implying that as the end approaches there is less and less life in the individual, that there is present quantitative factor, a sort of death by inches. To a certain point this is supportable in that all organ and never centers do not become irreversibly damaged simultaneously: consciousness as a brain function is often irretrievably destroyed months to years before the respiratory and vasomotor centers fail. At the same time one can share Schreiner's (1966, p. 100) disconent and insist that "a coordinating vital principle exists which...
