...burden of action falls on the U.S.-a fact that both Britain's Prime Minister Eden and Secretary of State Dulles clearly recognized in their public statements last week. But this time U.S. planners will not be caught napping. Since last May experts of the State, Commerce, Interior and Defense Departments and the Office of Defense Mobilization have been charting their course. In August, within a fortnight after Colonel Nasser's Suez seizure, the ODM had in hand a general "Plan of Action," now being worked out in detail by a crack Middle East Emergency Committee (made...
...crowds howled for J.D.R. Jr.'s blood: "Shoot him down like a dog!" J.D.R. Jr., first reacting instinctively to defend his Colorado managers, later went out to Colorado with a bright young Canadian labor-relations expert named W. L.

Most Ottawa politicos are now convinced that the government will go to the people next June. By then, the long-delayed Trans-Canada gas pipeline should be operating, thus eliminating one potentially damaging campaign issue, and if revenues continue high, the government may also be able to cut taxes just before election time...
...order and a pat on the back. Where most U.S. planemakers just build the air frame, then fit on whatever armament, radar, etc. that the Air Force orders, Convair's B58 is the first U.S. aircraft to be built under the new "weapons-system" concept, where the prime contractor is responsible for everything (except engines). On a plane as complex as the Hustler, the new system can save as much as three years in development time...
