Thanks to Pueblo & Co., the Navy has nearly completed a computer-taped "library" classifying Russia's 450 or more subs, from diesel-powered Whiskey-class boats to the new, nuclear Juliett class. In the near future, U.S. naval commanders will be able to draw instant digital readouts that will identify any Soviet sub they can hear...

...year. Altogether, eventual savings from combined operations should be at least $80 million a year. Plans have been made to eliminate about 1,000 miles of duplicate tracks, and computers were called into service to help decide upon the best routes. With a choice of two main lines from Chicago to the Northeast, for example, the computers found that the Central's water-level route would be much more economical than the Pennsy tracks that ascend nearly 3,000 feet over the mountains of western Pennsylvania. Connecting links between Pennsy and New York Central tracks are being rushed...
...federal funding is irreversible. The Government supplied nearly one-fourth of the $16.8 billion that all colleges spent last year; by 1975, he predicted, this may climb to 50%. Eventually, he suggested, private donors will give up, or support only highly specialized projects, while federal taxes pick up the main burden and local and state revenues meet the expanding needs of the lower levels of education...
