...Cutting Fat. Kennedy became worried about cutting some of the budget fat after Congress adjourned and he saw clearly that the new defense budget, an increase in the farm program, and added social legislation would mean a big deficit-and a big political issue in the 1962 elections. In his order last week, Kennedy ruled that any acceleration of spending instituted for the Administration's antirecession measures-criticized by many as having been unnecessary in the first place -be "phased out," and that new or expanded programs "be undertaken with caution and deliberation."

...gumshoe last week, "is a vagrant with intellectual pretensions.'' ABC's The New Breed celebrates Lt. Price Adams (Leslie Nielsen) and the new, soft-spoken young cops of the Los Angeles Police Department, college men and nearly all scientists, who speak scornfully of the old-style "fat cops who steal apples." Straightforwardly acted, it is an absorbing story of men rather than dum-de-dum-dum bunnies...
