...echoed the cry of many another Capitol Hill Democrat about President Eisenhower's proposals for a balanced budget in fiscal 1960. The whole notion, said "Pete" Williams, was "mythical." At about the same time last week, Pete Williams & Co. got some studied support for their argument: a staff report from the Joint Congressional Committee on Internal Revenue Taxation flatly predicted that the Eisenhower Administration's hopes for a balanced budget are doomed to red-ink disappointment. Federal income in 1960, said the report, will come to $75.8 billion instead of the $77.1 billion predicted in the President...
Firing back, Administration officials said they were "amazed" at the report, insisted that they still expect a 1960 budget balance. Evidence so far this year, announced the Treasury Department, indicates that the income estimates in the President's budget are "sound and well justified...

But in science the impractical can turn practical overnight with a little cash behind it. In Scientific American this week, Geologist Willard Bascom published the first full report of a onetime AMSOC daydream, which is now backed by the National Science Foundation: to drill a hole right down through the earth's crust to its hidden interior...
