...disclose the size of individual contracts, a solid estimate is that the Government has invested $5 billion in missiles, will spend $1.2 billion this year alone. As for progress to date, Ostrander disclosed that Lockheed has already test-flown a nose cone through and possibly beyond the ionosphere, a layer of thin air 50 to 250 miles above the earth. This indicates that the U.S. has met some success on probably the most difficult of all missile problems: re-entry into the stratosphere.

Bureaucrats scan it for news of their own departments that may still be several memos away; except at the topmost layer, the city's 228,109 public servants depend mostly on the press for what they know about the Government and each other. Bigwigs examine the Post nervously to see how their speeches are played-or to find ideas for new ones. The Washington press corps studies it for tips, ideas and slants that often influence the 500,000 words that clack out of the capital every day to news media all around the world...
