...Rocky's at $2,000,000, Reagan's at $500,000 and Lyndon Johnson's at $300,000 before he dropped out. Nixon's headquarters puts his spending at $2,000,000, and Finance Chairman Maurice Stans says that the figure will reach $5,000,000 before the convention. A conservative estimate of totals spent on all the primaries to date: New Hampshire, $675,000; Indiana, $1,250,000; Nebraska, $600,000; Oregon, $1,350,000; and California, at least $3,100,000. In Wisconsin, according to official if not quite credible reports, Nixon spent...
...Beyond Reach. Even if these scanty signals are picked up somewhere along a sub's disaster course (Scorpion's: 2,500 miles long by 50 miles wide), the device the Navy relies upon to rescue deep-sixed submariners is ancient and inadequate: the McCann rescue chamber, an "undersea elevator" that can remove only eight men at a time from subs in 850 ft. of water or less. Devised in the 1920s, it was last used in an actual undersea rescue when Squalus went down off Portsmouth, N.H., in 1939.* Development of a "Deep-Submergence Rescue Vehicle," begun...

As the cardinals reach the stage, they pause before the bishop and the priest: "Wilt thou accept pontificality?" Rolfe turns to kneel to his bishop, so unexpectedly chosen, only to find that the prelate is already kneeling to him. "Wilt thou accept pontificality?" The bishop whispers: "The answer is 'Volo...
Ships & Reactors. Those statistics mark a long reach from the spring of 1898, when a young teamster named Warren Bechtel hitched up a couple of mules and went into the "earthmoving" business in Oklahoma's Indian Territory. His knockabout enterprise prospered, and by the time of his death in 1933, "Dad" Bechtel was head of the combine building the Hoover Dam, the biggest construction project of its day. It was his son, Stephen Bechtel, who expanded the business into a worldwide engineering and construction organization that now employs some 8,500 technicians and engineers...
...doughtiest people in the publishing business are those who put out avant-garde literary magazines; they seldom make a profit and rarely reach more than 5,000 readers. It must be love of literature that drives them-and properly so, for it happens that these "little magazines" have fostered the early work of the foremost writers of the 20th century...
