Nuclear reactors still cannot produce electric power as cheaply as thermoelectric plants fueled with coal or oil. But mankind has received a huge, unforeseen bonus from the radioisotopes created in nuclear reactors. They are used in countless applications in industry and science, from detecting tiny, hidden flaws in machinery parts to tracing physiological processes in the human body...

Kennedy still promised a balanced budget for 1963 "barring extraordinary and unforeseen defense requirements"-and he clearly felt that now is the time to begin working toward it. "Appropriations," he told the heads of federal agencies, "are only a ceiling, not a mandate to spend . . .
