...analysis does not include "indirect costs" of operating a commercial space line-maintenance, administration, advertising, ticketing and profit-but its authors insist these charges should parallel standard airline operating expenses. All costs included, the estimated price of a round-trip ticket to the moon would be $900-about $40 less than the current first-class jet fare from New York to Paris and back...
...support their suspicions, the Kremlinologists had to fall back, as always, on indirect and fragmentary evidence. At the great May Day parade in Red Square, Mikoyan, for the first time since 1957, was not among the first five Soviet leaders to appear on the reviewing stand.

Charles J. Zimmerman, president of the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Co., estimates that each year mental illness on the job costs business $3 billion directly-enough to buy 150 million hours of psychiatric time at $20 an hour-and another $9 billion in indirect costs.

Such disturbances, they contend, are the real causes of many of industry's most common employee difficulties: alcoholism, accidents...

Nixon's most notable recent moves in this direction have been his indirect overtures to New York's standoffish Governor Nelson Rockefeller, who is a favorite of wavering independents and has considerable influence in pivotal (45 electoral votes) New York State. In New York last week, Nixon took public note of his private hopes of interesting Governor Rockefeller in the vice-presidential...
...often-mentioned $1 billion figure were accurate, says Lacy, "every family in America would be spending on the average about $20 a year on pornography." Psychiatrists, sociologists and experts on juvenile delinquency disagree, too, on the effects of pornography on the young-"a very few even see possible indirect benefits from obscene materials that can divert into fantasy certain drives that might otherwise be expressed in anti-social acts...
