A.M.C.'s main target is the Volkswagen, which accounted for 30% of the 1.4 million compacts sold in the U.S. last year. Getting the new campaign off to a start, Chapin pointed out that the Rambler is not only bigger (six v. four passengers) and more powerful (128 h.p. v. 53 h.p.), but, "in terms familiar to every housewife, costs only 69? a pound compared to more than 90? for the Volkswagen...
...infiltrated and subverted the world of American student leaders." The story, according to Ramparts, was a "case study in the corruption of youthly idealism," and would prove that "CIA owes the youth of this country an apology." CIA's involvement with the academic community has been a target of Ramparts before: an article last April lambasted Michigan State University for providing cover for five CIA agents during a federally financed project to train South Vietnamese policemen. Predictably, its 10,000-word article on the U.S. National Student Association was larded with pejorative clichés about "the sinister specter...
...Analytical Lag." Settling into a witness chair before Proxmire's Senate-House Joint Economic Committee last week, Fowler flailed away with unaccustomed vigor at almost every target in-and out of-sight. As for economists who have lambasted him and President Johnson for first not raising taxes and now for asking that they be hiked, Fowler accused them of "suffering from an analytical lag that has them currently applying their calipers to conditions of a year ago." He rapped "bank letters notable for consistency if not accuracy." He scoffed at "herd-thinking, Monday-morning quarterbacks," and skeptics...

Stationed by the goal's left post. Demment took a pass from defenseman Ben Smith on a power play and spun the puck into the goal's far side...
...course it will matter-though not militarily. The moon, once thought of as invincible "high ground" from which to launch an attack on an earthly enemy, now seems beyond consideration as a rocket base. Any lunar-launched missile would take far longer (16 hours) to reach its target than its earth-based counterpart. It would be harder to guide, easier to detect, and simpler to destroy. Which is one big reason behind Russia's willingness to sign an outer-space treaty, renouncing territorial rights or bases on the moon...
