...Kennedy made it plain in a lengthy statement that U.S. sympathies were with Furtado and that the U.S. would put its resources where its sympathies lie. "The overall objectives," said Kennedy, "appear to be substantially sound, realistic and in harmony with those of the Alliance for Progress." The practical proof: a Kennedy promise to send a team of U.S. technicians to the northeast, along with surplus food-estimated at an eventual $125 million worth over five years...
...proof were needed, the strike was convincing testimony that it was time to resume negotiations with the F.L.N. In the four-week interval since the Evian talks were broken off.

But he mined his suffering profitably; over the years he produced more memorable wisecracks and more hit comedies than anyone else in the U.S. theater. Last week. Kaufman died...
...Ball, "is like building a television set that will operate four hours a day for 500 years without an adjustment.'' For such a job, asserts the Harvard Business School's Pro fessor J. Sterling Livingston, "the control techniques industry has used are hopelessly inadequate." Proof of Livingston's contention is that the overwhelming majority of missile failures have been caused by faulty parts rather than faulty design...
