...make good on all these claims would obviously exhaust even the most generous fiscal dividend that Charles Schultze has projected. But the President can still find some money for key social needs. The fact is that the federal budget can stand some slimming. Not as much as Americans sometimes think is wasted-but a good deal is. Not as much as Americans sometimes suppose is going into absurd projects-though too much is. Money is being spent on programs that, by comparison with priority needs, are secondary or of relatively minor importance. Someone is always hurt when a program...
While many of the plans and programs discussed in the preceding section require nothing more than a change of mind-admittedly, not always an easy thing-others require substantial sums of money. The total might amount to a possible $30 billion, obviously an unrealistic sum in the next two or three years.

...only 13 of the 309 drivers finished the race. Burkel, his face and neck covered with red blotches of frostbite, won the overall title and $3,000 of the total $20,000 in prize money with a time of 17 hrs. 46 min. and 36 sec. His reaction to the race was the understatement of the week: "This weather you have here is something else...
