...emphasized that the President had promised only to review the complaints, not to grant any outright concessions. Secretary of the Treasury Dillon will meet in the near future with representatives of the railroads to discuss the grievances, which center around depreciation allowances permitted on tunnels and grading...
From this tiny seed, sown a full 13 years before Hitler's accession, sprang the most perverted, rapacious and successful propaganda apparatus the world had ever known. By 1936, after just three years in power, the Nazi party owned two-thirds of all German news circulation outright and tightly controlled the rest. Not a line was printed without official approval, not an editor escaped the role of Nazi stooge.

Family Talk. System/360 emphasizes another dominant trend in computer design: versatility. The new IBM family has junior members that can be rented for $2,700 per month or bought outright for $133,000; its largest systems rent for $115,000 per month, cost $5,500,000 to buy.

IBM intends that big and little ones will be connected in closely intimate groups, chattering like crazy 24 hours...

...Brink. With colossal mismanagement at home and bullying adventures abroad, Sukarno has pushed his sprawling, intrinsically rich island nation to the brink of bankruptcy. On Java, where 60% of all Indonesians live, recurring drought and a rat plague have led to outright famine. Irked by Sukarno's "Crush Malaysia" campaign, the U.S. is phasing out its aid (total to date: $896 million), last month shipped Indonesia its final 40,000 tons of American rice. Blustered Sukarno: "To hell with aid!" Turning hopefully to Holland, Indonesia last year resumed diplomatic relations, which had been broken in 1960 during Sukarno...
