...national debt. Defense expenditures are expected to increase by $2.5 billion or $3 billion, to about $51 billion, the space program by $2 billion, and yearly interest on the debt by $700 million. Within the old budget, some allocations will be juggled. The Administration expects new postal rates to save $750 million-money that can be spent for increased Health, Education and Welfare and public works programs...
...collegians are so disengaged, what accounts for the recent rise of campus conservatives? They represent "the displaced apprentice," argues Keniston. Typically, they come from small conservative towns. Feeling out of date on a sophisticated campus, they repudiate its liberal values to save selfesteem. Liberals, he finds, fall mostly into "single issue groups" -usually "academic" students whose concern to ban this or that stems largely from high intellectual awareness. Such bright youngsters, the fruit of rising admission standards, are all for such unexceptionable American values as peace, equality and freedom. They just want to carry them out. So they picket...
...doughty athletes. There has not been an empty seat in City Stadium (capacity: 38.663) since 1959; the only way anyone gets to see a game is by buying a season ticket-and even that, like joining a country club, takes years of waiting.

Again, in 1949, after two miserable seasons (Lambeau's last as coach), the Packers floundered financially...
Sartre of course is not really talking about hell. He is talking about existence. Existence, he means to say, is a paradoxical situation in which no man can help another to save himself and no man can save himself alone. Indeed, in Sartre's opinion all communication is evil and love is a kind of murder. Since one existent cannot see another as a subject but only as an object, the "stare" of the other interrupts "the secret state" that to the existent is his existence, and this interruption causes a "hemorrhage" of freedom that drains being into nothingness...
