...only brush with trouble in the feud-ridden Pentagon came when a special committee he headed, the so-called Gray Board, recommended that the National Guard be taken out of state hands-and state politics-and put under federal control. The politically powerful National Guard, which spiked the project, may be called on to fight it again: another board is studying the same project...
...biologists have dozens of other projects. Some are digging for fossils in Vermont; some are trying to find how insects got their wings; some are learning how the human eye sees; and one man is studying the effects of sewage disposal in the ocean. There's a project for every professor, and there are 32 professors...
Irresistible Barbs. These were charges that barely supported the dutiful, day-to-day headlines. Most of Hickenlooper's facts & figures had been gathering dust in committee files for months.

And inasmuch as most of the cross-state travelers will come from other states, the pike would cost Bay Staters almost nothing. When the tolls have paid off the bonds, the road would become completely free...
