...recommended that the yardstick for the people in this country must be a job and a house. The Riekert Commission's report has been accepted in principle by the government. This is a tremendous change in the system, but because of the government's uncertainty as to the short-term effect of this principle, they weren't quite prepared to phase out the 72 hour ruling at once.

There are some boozy barroom dissertations that are every bit as entertaining on film as they are in real life...
...father of U.S. naval nuclear power, seems quite likely to outlast the ship. Convinced that the admiral, soon to turn 80, is not about to be slowed down by barnacles, Acting Navy Secretary R. James Woolsey last week announced that Rickover had been appointed to yet another two-year term. That will make him a six-decade salt...
