...cost. Secretary Flemming's guesstimate: $1.2 billion annually, split fifty-fifty by federal and state governments. What would it cost by 1970? Flemming shrugged, said his staff was still calculating. "This is the worst kind of fiscal irresponsibility," cried Virginia Democrat Burr Harrison. "This Townsend Plan-Rube Goldberg scheme is more socialistic and more unsound than the Forand bill." Quipped another Democrat: "This plan calls for everything except prenatal care for persons over 65." Chairman Wilbur Mills, an Arkansas Democrat who has long supported Ike's crusades for a balanced budget, was boiling mad. So, privately, were...
...Leonid Brezhnev, 53. Like Kozlov and Kosygin, Brezhnev belongs to the new generation of Soviet men, reared among machines rather than revolution, trained in industry, agriculture and politics. He got his start working under Khrushchev in the Ukraine, moved to Kazakhstan to launch Khrushchev's pet "virgin lands" scheme, and only this year made his first trip beyond the Iron Curtain to speak at a Finnish Communist Party Congress. Since he still is a top Party Secretary, Brezhnev may fill the hitherto largely ceremonial office of President with greater power and authority...
Ultimately, India's long-term survival depends on learning how to feed itself, which is the object of the $100 million project announced fortnight ago by India's partner in the scheme, the Ford Foundation (TIME, May 9).

Both the opposition Liberals and the province's 1,000 doctors are against the Douglas scheme, challenging its practicality. The province already has cradle-to-grave security that matches anything in such better-known socialist Edens as Sweden, Uruguay and New Zealand...
...major dramatic shows, CBS Playhouse 90 and NBC Sunday Showcase, are being crossed off the schedule for next season, as well as the muchballyhooed $15 million NBC Ford Star-time, which did some good drama (e.g., Ingrid Bergman in The Turn of the Screw, Alec Guinness in The Wicked Scheme of Jebal Deekes), but otherwise ran up an awesome string of flops. Many of the less ambitious series fared no better. A total of 55 shows will not return to the air next season, ranging from Love and Marriage to Bat Masterson, from Desilu Playhouse to the John Gunther show...
