...even with the present model, VASCAR has been used with striking results. In North Carolina, where the state highway patrol began using it last December, the number of speeding arrests increased substantially, and as a consequence auto accident fatalities dropped sharply to 142 from 214 the previous December. The device is so accurate that in New York, out of 1,000 motorists arrested through VASCAR, not one has yet disputed his citation. How accurate? Well, Indiana, which has 21 of the units and has ordered 100 more (at $895 each), tested the computer against the Indianapolis Speedway's ultrasophisticated...
...term prison reform is a meaningless abstraction. Only when the particular problems of a particular prison break into the open is there public pressure for correction. Such was the case in Arkansas last week. For years, Arkansas legislators have been referring to their two large convict farms as a "model system." The farms turned in a handsome profit that averaged about $1,400,000 over the years from the sale of farm products, and few prisoners ever seemed to escape.

Promising to wait for him, Joy starts divorce proceedings against her husband. She works as a barmaid and as a nudie model for the kind of moist-lipped amateur photographers who don't use film in their cameras. Then she begins taking men to bed more for fun than profit. "If I turned professional," she tells a chum, "I'd lose the pleasure of it." Joy dreams about Dave and visits...
Federal Roads Commissioner Lowell K. Bridwell agreed to allow a two-part review of the Belt. A six-month "feasibility" study will decide if the $300 million highway is still needed. A concurrent "joint development" plan will try to find ways to use the Model Cities and other federal programs to cushion the blow to the City if the road is built...
