...myriad problems and risks posed by the nuclear age, none weighs so heavily on the strategist, politician and scientist as the need to anticipate the military balance five and ten years hence. Such foresight is a necessity because of the long lead time required to perfect weapons systems. The difficulty of reading the tarot cards of Atomic Age technology and rival nations' intentions is at the heart of the anti-ballistic-missile dispute...
Militant House. The tremendous disparity between the two groups of experts that published their findings last week, points up Congress's problem with the ABM controversy. There is no consensus among nuclear and strategic seers-and there probably will be none. In the Senate, where skepticism of most military undertakings is very much in vogue these days, the pre-vote count remains against Safeguard, 49 to 42, with nine Senators wobbling.

Edgar Hoover allowed that he has "many plans and aspirations for the future. None of them," said Hoover pointedly, "include retirement. As long as God grants me the health and stamina to continue, I have no ambition other than to remain in my post as director...
