...registered voters, the Democrats hold a 1,500,000-vote edge. But Murphy built up an early lead in populous Los Ange'es County, and Pierre's upstate strength proved too little too late. A onetime promoter of right-win'? causes, Campaigner Murphy sud- den y became the soul of moderation- around moderates-yet kept the Goldwaterites happy. Then when Pierre came out against a proposed amendment which, in effect, would repeal most state and local anti-discrimination housing laws, Murphy kept his lip buttoned. The proposition won. Then there was the carpetbag issue...
More Serious Problem. The plane has been plagued by stormy arguments between its builders, British Aircraft Corp. and France's Sud-Aviation. The partners have been forced to plan ma jor structural changes and to push back the Concorde's delivery dates from 1970 to 1971, cutting its lead time over the planned U.S. supersonic craft.

Though Sud-Aviation began cutting metal for the Concorde in December, the U.S. is still mulling over three designs submitted by Boeing, Lockheed, North American Aviation, is not scheduled to make a choice until at least May. The news of the All, however, proved that the U.S. is ahead in aircraft metallurgy and close to matching the Concorde in other areas. Says one Sud-Aviation engineer: "We realize that the Americans can do in six months what has taken...
...defense spending at $3.7 billion, or 5.1% of its G.N.P. Italy will spend $1.3 billion, West Germany $4.7 billion; even neutralist Sweden has hiked its 1963 defense budget to $675 million. Thousands of European firms, from such giants as Italy's Fiat and France's Sud Aviation to makers of uniforms and rifles, are getting interested in defense work...
