...From the evidence accumulated we do know this: the evaluation of the importance of the control of outer space made by us has not been based primarily on the judgment of men most qualified to make such an appraisal. Our decisions, more often than not, have been made within the framework of the Government's annual budget.* This control has, again and again, appeared and reappeared as the prime limitation upon our scientific advancement . . . What should be our goal? If, out in space, there is the ultimate position-from which total control of the earth may be exercised-then...
...Funds for the Atomic Energy Commission (up 11%), stockpiling and defense production expansion (down 25%) and foreign military aid (virtually unchanged at $3.1 billion) are largely national defense items. Economic development aid (up 30% to $783 million) might make sense even if there were no Communist menace, but is often justified as a cold war necessity.

With such home-state support, Fred Schaus (rhymes with spouse) has built the most successful team in college basketball out of a band of boys from West Virginia and neighboring Pennsylvania. In other years, Schaus's boys from back home too often panicked at the first tweak of big-time pressure; last year, for example, West Virginia collapsed in the first round of the N.C.A.A. tournament. But this year the Mountaineers went at it with slick skill, won the high-pressure Kentucky Invitational tournament by snapping the winning streak (at 37) of North Carolina, last year...
...boys at Madison Square Garden waited to be shown, for sophomore basketball flashes too often became fumbling schoolboys on their first trip to Manhattan's big time. When he loped out on the Garden's floor last week, the University of Cincinnati's Oscar ("Big O") Robertson needed a big night to show the skeptics he could play in the big league...
