...SOVIET MISSILES. Though McNamara vowed that the U.S. would always maintain a sizable lead over the Russians, many Congressmen were alarmed by his report that Moscow has more than doubled its land-based intercontinental-ballistic-missile force, to 720, in a year. Clifford agrees that the U.S. "must be superior" in missile strength...
Inside Dallas Memorial Auditorium, delivering his first campaign stump speech of 1968, the President assumed the stance that he now apparently plans to maintain until Election Day. In a 27-minute address to National Rural Electric Cooperative Association conventioners, Johnson reached back to his own political youth and the New Deal, draping the cape of Franklin Roosevelt over his own presidency by reciting the Administration's record on Medicare, education, the war on poverty, and social security benefits.

Lacerated Brow. Yet Rockefeller's initial reaction was to maintain his aloof stance. Soon after arriving in Washington, he went to his 35-acre estate on Foxhall Road for a conference with his brother, Governor Winthrop Rockefeller of Arkansas, and Governor Spiro Agnew of Maryland.

No one would wish to institute psychotherapy with young...
...conceived. Almost without exception the first-order effects of newly introduced technology tend to be regarded as "benefits" to mankind. Especially in societies characterized by a high degree of private enterprise, there are very great rewards to be had from such innovation, and there follows a lively competition to maintain the pace of change. Unavoidably, however, change introduces a measure of disequilibrium into the larger social system: second-, third-, and fourth-order effects take place, and while some of these are also beneficial, and some neutral, others are seriously harmful. As often as not, these harmful effects are experienced...
