...seen. As Britain and France have cut their NATO manpower, and West Germany has at last begun to contribute its own troops to the alliance, Bonn has stiffened its attitude -on support costs, which many Germans choose to call "occupation costs." Defense Minister Franz Josef Strauss, an open foe of support payments, has even implied that if his government does agree to any payments, he will cancel large chunks of his ministry's several hundred million-dollar U.S.-arms contracts. Though his domestic arms buildup is going so slowly that he seems unlikely to spend the $2.5 billion allotted...
Next morning New Mexico surveyed the results of Chavez' "I'll get it for you wholesale" campaign. Democratic primary votes for Chavez: 65,000; for Elzer S. ("Johnny") Walker, his Democratic opponent: 35,000. Along the way, Chavez' 1952 foe, Pat Hurley, decided not to run, leaving it virtually a certainty that the Republican nominee, Rancher Forrest Atchley of Clayton, will lose to Dennis Chavez in November...

Hence the futuristic proposals that in addition to recycling his oxygen supply (perhaps with elaborate photolysis, to break down the accumulating carbon dioxide), the space pilot will have to recycle his body wastes. Extraction of palatable water, though still not perfected, might be practicable for space flight if the equipment weight could...

Aware that Georgia's strongman, U.S. Senator Herman Talmadge, had hand-picked Lieutenant Governor Ernest Vandiver as the next governor (TIME, Feb. 17), Griffin-who cannot succeed himself-nevertheless picked and began pushing his own nominee. In retaliation the Talmadge-dominated state senate ordered an investigation of the governor's administration. And if there are any political bodies buried around, the Talmadge fans will know where...
