...York and found Johnson running well ahead of all the major Republican prospects among voters earning less than $7,000 a year. Citizens in higher income brackets tended to favor the Republican candidates. But much of the middle class is considered to be uncommitted to either party, to swing from election to election depending on personalities and issues. Among the domestic issues that concern them are education, crime and their interests as consumers. Johnson is virtually certain to sprinkle these with as much new seasoning as possible, as well as to freshen up the antipoverty effort. Johnson, who spent last...
...camera to hunt for the source of the trouble and working with duplicate models, JPL scientists and engineers from JPL and Hughes Aircraft, designer of the moon robot, struggled to set it free. Twice they nudged it with the digger arm. No luck. All it did was swing a bit. Then they tried again, using the arm to steady the box against Surveyor and simultaneously pressing down. This time, success. The box descended to the lunar surface, and the crucial, drawn-out process of testing began. This week JPL will be sifting the first results relayed to earth from...
...that, Inco is carrying out its biggest expansion at home. Of the $1 billion alloted for new development over the next five years, $230 million has been earmarked for mines, refineries and smelters around the town of Thompson in northern Manitoba.

Were peace to be negotiated in Viet Nam, the economy would swing to a vastly different peacetime basis. In the event of a broader war, not only would defense outlays increase even more, but inflation would switch from a canter to a gallop...
...marked increasingly by acceptance of lack of craft (witness the reception of Mike Nichols' mediocre The Graduate), Billion Dollar Brain stands out as a low-level case-book of cinematic efficiency. Russell's camerawork is frequently tantamount to cutting: he will start on a medium shot if Michael Caine, swing up to a sign on a building, down to people leaving the building, and back to Michael Caine--all so quickly we might have seen four separate shots. The interior-exterior point-of-view cutting in the scene where Palmer discovers the dead Doctor Kaarna reveals Russell's sophistication concerning...
