...Money Needed. The giant jets face other obstacles. Few major airports are equipped to handle the massive passenger flow that the new planes will bring. Yet by the end of next year, the 747s are expected to be flying to cities across the U.S. and in Europe. Some nightmarish tangles could lie ahead. Airports will need billions of dollars in the next few years to improve and enlarge terminal facilities alone, and nobody knows where the funds will come from. The prospect of raising the money has been made even more difficult by congressional proposals to limit the tax-free...
...situation comedy. They cannot really tell an orgy from a "sensitivity" session-and neither, unfortunately, can the film's authors, who ought to go see the skit about wholesome swingers in that succes de scandale Off-Broadway, Oh!

Our national defense stands in need of the same kind of knowledge; for in it too one needs to train people, resolve issues, run large organizations...
...have their value. But there are a great many things that we have learned to understand better through psychology, sociology, systems analysis, political science. Such knowledge is important to the mandarins of the future for it is by such knowledge that men of power are humanized and civilized. They need a way of perceiving the consequences of what they do if their actions are not to be brutal, stupid, bureaucratic, but rather intelligent and humane. The only hope for humane government in the future is through the extensive use of the social sciences by government (Emphasis added)." Not only...
