...approach to taxpayers. Illinois ranks third among states in per capita personal income, but 49th in the percentage of personal income going to state and local taxation. Ogilvie believes that the "bedrock needs of this state" demand radical change. Even the Republican legislative leaders were stunned by the size of his proposal: a budget increase of 45% and the biggest tax jump in Illinois history, including its first income tax. The money would be used to hike welfare spending by more than 20%, nearly double aid to elementary and secondary public education and, for the first time, provide state support...

It is self-contained except for one essential ingredient: a power system to deliver a steady, pumping beat...
Although the walking machine is merely a prototype to demonstrate the feasibility of more sophisticated CAMs, neither G.E. nor the Army, for whom they will be made, foresees many technical barriers to more intricate models. The Army has announced that an offshoot is already being constructed-a Jeep-size vehicle with interchangeable mechanical legs and wheels. Approaching completion is a CAM "exoskeleton" of mechanical muscles, which, when worn by an operator, will convert mere man into superman...
