...workers and peasants were inspired to grim extra effort. Now, according to non-Communist foreign visitors recently in Hanoi, many seem to have relaxed their drive. Last June the newspaper Hanoi Moi reported that of 538 specific construction-industry quotas only 328 had been achieved or surpassed. Other papers maintain a steady barrage of complaint against pilferage, slackness and absenteeism, and at the beginning of 1969 the government found itself forced to open a massive campaign against factory corruption. Further complicating the economic dilemma, an estimated 500,000 workers and farmers have been drafted into the army since 1965, cutting...
...Administration pulling back from the scheduled pace of desegregation? The rhetoric, to be sure, remains pro-civil rights, and in some respects the Administration has been both progressive and innovative. Finch, earlier thought of as the Cabinet liberal, may yet prove correct when he promises that the Administration will maintain pro-integration pressure. For now, however, the signs point to submission to a Southern political strategy that demands placating whites at the expense of immediate integration...
...made more difficult by the upsurge in Communist aggressiveness, which brought U.S. deaths for the most recent week to 244 v. 96 the week before. Ideally, the Administration would like the next announced withdrawal to be larger than the first one of 25,000 last June. That would maintain the sense of momentum in disengagement.

Now it was tricky, and he had to calculate the risk on the battlefields, the tolerance of dissent at home, and somehow strike...

Under this approach, the U.S. could agree to scrap ten of its Polaris submarines, while the Russians would be permitted to build up their fleet to parity with the U.S. at 31 boats. The U.S. would phase out all of its B-52s and B-58s while building enough FB-111s, the strategic fighter-bomber version of the swing-wing F-111, to match the Soviet TU-95s in numbers. The U.S. would abandon Safeguard ABMs, the Russians would dismantle or neutralize the Galosh network...
...Allis" (named for the Allis-Chalmers generator) came back on the line. But relief can only be temporary for Con Ed. It must currently generate 7,350,000 kw. at peak load, and 10.9 million within a decade. Even when it buys power from other utilities, Con Ed can maintain a reserve capacity of only 21%-too slim for the peak demands of New York. Worse, Con Ed is balked in its plans for future needs...
