...plan for space communications soon after Sputnik went up-and launched Telstar last year. Working on the theory that "1970 starts today," General Electric has set up a colony of 300 planners-one of the largest groups anywhere-by the ocean at Santa Barbara, Calif., where they ponder everything from long-range prospects for the Japanese economy to the competition in education between the U.S. and Russia. Noting that U.S. consumers are spending increasing portions of their rising personal incomes on medical care, G.E. vice presidents are pondering whether their company should expand its hospital-systems supply business...

Another time, at his wife's suggestion, he climbed aboard...
...stirred no enthusiasm in many G.O.P. ward leaders. Then why didn't Daley wallop Adamowski good? Apparently, a lot of Chicagoans were restive about Daley's tax increases, the latest of which was a 3% boost in real estate taxes. Adamowski's fellow Republicans could well ponder what might have happened if they had put up a stronger candidate...
