...Seaboard on air-age conveyances. Only a few days after he okayed purchase of three Boeing jet 707s for future Administration use on long trips, he pushed the sophisticated reciprocating engine up another notch in utility to Presidents. The helicopter, he proved last week, can be more than his traffic-jumping airport taxi; it makes a fine intercity grasshopper for regular commuting...
...military-airliner collision over the U.S. since mid-1949-laid on the line once again a scandalously serious problem of the U.S.'s crowded air space. In clear weather, military planes fly indiscriminately on and through civil airways under Visual Flight Rules. In areas of heavy traffic, civilian airliners, even in clear weather, more often fly under Instrument Flight Rules-continually tracked and controlled by Civil Aeronautics Administration ground stations. In the final analysis, the lack of military-civilian coordination was responsible for the Maryland crash just as it was responsible for the ramming of a United Air Lines...
Boulevards & Tunnels. At best, these emergency steps seemed halfway measures, and they were. But Quesada and clamoring Congressmen knew that they are all and perhaps more than all that the obsolescent U.S. airways traffic-control system can absorb.

The Moslem stevedores from the Algiers docks had good reason to join in, too. Since maritime traffic with France had been cut off. they were not working anyway, and found it profitable to march along with everyone else...
What Galbraith says about the lack of parking places will hardly be news to Americans. Nor will anyone argue with the need for better schools, parks, sanitation systems, traffic control. But having pointed his bat at the bleachers, Galbraith steps away from the plate. He never takes a full swing at drafting the program that he implies: that the state, local and federal governments must take a larger role in society. What Galbraith suggests concretely is much more conservative. He believes that the economy can absorb up to 4,000,000 unemployed, proposes a sliding scale for unemployment compensation...
