This time the request was for $22 billion, a part of the military's total budget of $80 billion for fiscal 1970. The bill was a mere five pages long, which figures to about $22 million a word. Included in the Pentagon package was the Nixon Administration's controversial ABM system, which just barely squeaked by in the Senate by a 51-50 vote. The narrow margin of victory on its major section spelled trouble for the balance of the bill. Last week, before the Senate's adjournment until after Labor Day, other sections of the bill...
Think, Mr. Carswell (wherever you are) think, all of you: imagine the situation of your grader. (Unless, of double differential-CH3 C6 H2 (NO2) set.

But computer breakdowns and other snags slowed the system until last week, when the C.C.S. resumed full operation. The brokerage business may face more financial woes before happy days return. Profits seem likely to continue their fall until rising stock prices bring an upturn in trading volumes...
...which four persons are involved" -into one big, sloppy movie. Assigned the thankless task of giving order and meaning to Durrell's universe, Screenwriter Lawrence B. Marcus eliminated Clea and shaped the other characters into soap-opera carvings. The result, given the overall title of Justine, is not mere condensation but virtually complete evaporation...
