...those against Safeguard countered that in seven years, by the time it is fully developed, the system may well be obsolete. Moreover, it can never be tested because of the 1963 Test Ban Treaty. They argued further that if Russia ever launched a massive saturation strike on U.S. second-strike missile sites, the proposed Safeguard system would be capable of stopping only an insignificant number of incoming ICBMs...
Conflict is seeping downward in the educational system. In Norfolk, Va., 300 students of the predominantly Negro Booker T. Washington High School walked out in protest over the dismissal of a football coach and next fall's football schedule, which does not include any conference games against white schools. New Rochelle High School, near New York City, was forced to close after a disruption over the stationing of a policeman at the school because of previous trouble.

In case of collision, big nitrogen-inflated nylon balloons pop out of the steering column and dashboard, pinning motorists to their seats and keeping them from flying through the windshield. They deflate immediately after a crash, leaving motorists free to get out. Developed by Eaton, Yale & Towne Inc., the balloons would replace shoulder straps, which few motorists use any way (seat belts would still be needed for protection in rolling accidents). The Auto-Ceptor system works automatically: balloons inflate in one twenty-fifth of a second when...
