...your "bright spectrum" are bright, and some scientists are making from 10,000 to 20,000 bucks a year, but that is because of the vast army of small, dark, unknown plodders in U.S. science (like myself) whose salary plus commissions, etc. runs between $5,000 and $10,000 a year (mine: $6,000), and plenty of them get less than that...
Decision on Missiles. There was a vast difference between the White House mood last week and the reaction to President Eisenhower's 1955 heart attack. That first time everyone was excited and confused, wondering how-and even if-the Government could carry on in the President's absence. Few such questions arose last week. Says Nixon: "We had been over it all before." Bill Rogers was asked if any legal document or procedure was necessary to provide for interim administration. His answer: no. That said, the five-man group got down to business. How the U.S. Government operated...

He took in a fashion show at Neiman-Marcus' department store, and best of all, got a good taste of cowboy life at the famed King Ranch, where the land and the vast expanses seemed more like home than granite-blocked Washington or gleaming Dallas.

...short, everything depends on foreign aid. India, with the world's second-largest population (380 million, v. 600 million in China) and seventh-biggest area (1,300,000 sq. mi.), is an international giant. In a vast belt running across four of its northeastern states lie an estimated 20.8 billion tons of iron ore and 26 billion tons of coal. Indian steel production last year was 1,900,000 tons (v. Red China's 4,000,000 tons). Indian exports-manganese, tea from Assam, jute from Bengal and cotton cloth from Bombay and Madras-will earn about...
...many people believed that President Eisen-hower announced just such a reorganization in his televised speech on the missiles program. One Boston newspaper ran a vast headline which declared, "KILLIAN APPOINTED MISSILES CZAR." While Killian is an adviser of some sort, he is certainly not a missile czar. Nor, for that matter, is William Holaday, special assistant on guided missiles to the Secretary of Defense, a missile-czar. At best, Holaday represents an attempt to cut down on bureaucracy by adding another bureau-crat. Neither he nor Killian can do anything more than advise the already over-advised...
