...TIME perpetuates a colossal misstatement: that a reading of the Japanese "Purple Code" by the Army helped the Fleet Admiral dispose his forces for the Battle of Midway. The Purple Code was a Japanese diplomatic cipher; whether we read it or not had no relation to Midway. What did occur was that in April or early May 1942 a group of naval (including Marine) cryptanalysts and Japanese linguists working under Commander J. J. Rochefort at Pearl Harbor were successful in partially breaking and translating a Japanese naval code. This was a major element (but by no means the only...
...most virtuosos begins to decline at about 60, he has conquered the heady impetuosity that sometimes flawed the playing of his early years. He thrives by infusing a dash of improvisation, "a drop of fresh blood," into each performance. He will even experiment with new fingerings "that suddenly occur to me" in the middle of a performance.

The law requires him to perform this task, but there is no law that says he has to stick to his budget. This extraordinary leverage over the public purse has been gradually wrested from Congress, which over the years has ceded its once jealously held fiscal powers to the White House. Today, the President does not consider the budget just a report...
...trying to do too much too soon, and Lyndon Johnson will ultimately have to face up to the hard choice of raising taxes or cutting spending. He cannot be faulted for making assumptions-only for making unrealistic ones. Whatever tricks may be played with the budget, whatever changes may occur in the public attitude toward deficits, the budget in the long run must reflect the reality of the nation's financial state...
