...best or even adequate defense. Though drafted over months of round-the-clock work by able planners, the proposed defense budget leaves the U.S. with cause for rising worry over how much security it gets for its tax dollar. Reason: the 1961 budget, like many of its predecessors, represents slow compromise with the fast, uncompromising changes of modern-weapons technology. Result: it spreads too thin over too many half-finished, half-good or plainly outdated programs, perpetuates costly ideas out of past wars, fails to concentrate spending upon the strict necessities of today and the future...

If a man does get by him, Parker contritely reassures Unitas in the huddle: "Johnny, it won't happen again."

In television, they slap you into the starring role in a series, and you make 26 episodes right off the bat. If the series flops, you're dead. There isn't time to build a personality...
...squad is not in the League as yet; it may be next fall.) When the Crimson did get excited about these mid-week encounters, it was usually over some real or imagined scoring record. In the season's opener against Tufts, the varsity tallied six goals after its customary slow start; since the 1958 team had also notched six scores, the Crimson went all out for a seventh, which never materialized...
