...permanent government is interested in buying a product from universities--research. It is not "aiding" higher education; the Congress "aids" it through NDEA and the Higher Education Act. The permanent government is relatively insulated from external political pressure; Congress is not insulated at all. In an examination of instances of direct federal control over higher education through the weight of funding (the NDEA oath, for example) we find that it has been Congress, not he permanent government, that has been involved--even though the Congressional share of total support is very small. The permanent government has consistently opposed Congress...
...moreover, pleasing fewer and fewer Frenchmen with his foreign policies. Always the product of his personal piques as well as his grand designs, those policies had grown increasingly alien or irrelevant to the world as viewed by ordinary Frenchmen. They often left the impression that the old man was getting erratic. Perhaps the most damaging stance involved the Arabs and Israelis. Though France has only 520,000 Jews, many more French were incensed when De Gaulle extended an earlier arms embargo to include spare-parts shipments to Israel...
...much noted for a sense of humor, but there must have been at least a glimmer of a smile when they elected a former U.S. Air Force colonel as an alternate member of the party's Central Committee.

...agency endorsed a program that would call for continued manned flight, lunar exploration, orbiting space stations, planetary probes and cheaper space transportation. This should be accomplished, the committee noted, with a budget ranging from ½% to 1% of each year's gross national product ($4.5 billion to $9 billion based on a projected 1969 G.N.P. of more than $900 billion...
Slowly and subtly, that process appears to have begun-in response to the Government's policy of tight money, high taxes and a budgetary surplus. The real growth of the gross national product, not counting mere price increases, dropped from an annual rate of 6.4% in last year's first quarter to 2.8% in this year's first quarter. Even so, a FORTUNE survey shows that businessmen are still in an expansionist mood; 77% of those polled expect further increase in sales over the next twelve months. If the leading indicators prove correct, some abrupt changes...
