...manageable because business and Government pursued intelligent policies this year. The Labor Department reckons that businessmen's exuberant capital spending?they have invested $190 billion in new plants and machines in the past five years?will pay off with a 3% productivity gain in 1966. That will serve to temper inflation, and so will the fact that the medicare bill will lift social security taxes $5.5 billion yearly beginning Jan. 1. As of now, Government economists expect that consumer prices will rise about 2.5% and wholesale prices will increase 3%?which is not bad enough to require stern corrective...
...N.Y.U. foil fencers have probably the best foil contingent in the country. The Crimson has junior Tom Musliner, all-Ivy last year, and captain Rick Kolombatovich, who was out most of last year with an ankle injury.

Last week 130,000 government workers rejected a relatively reasonable 15% raise, walked off their jobs demanding a fat 60% wage hike...
...ever new, ever more outlandish forms of excitement, from using jet engines to shoot up, not down, the wicked rapids of the Colorado River, to musk-ox wrangling. The latter was said to be impossible since the musk ox is a strong, quick animal with a very short temper. But John Teal, a Harvard man who did graduate work in anthropology and geography at Yale, captured 67 musk oxen on Nunivak Island in the Bering Sea, mostly by driving them into the freezing water, then swimming after them and wrestling them ashore...
Taking up the scent, other newspapers elaborated on the theme; soon, Administration sources were quoted describing Johnson as "foaming at the mouth." Disturbed by this overdrawn image, the Texas White House began issuing denials. The President's temper, said his aides, was quite cool. The stockpile meeting, announced Press Secretary Bill Moyers, was one of a series that had begun in January with industry representatives to seek a long-range plan to dispose of surplus aluminum...
