Intelligence experts argue that if the Soviets continue their present programs while the U.S. stands pat, there will inexorably come a point when Soviet forces equal and then surpass the U.S. in total numbers of offensive nuclear warheads. That is an updated version of the 1960 missile-gap worry. The problem with it is that neither side can now know the other's intentions concerning additional weaponry...
...Finance Committee bowed to public pressure to attack what many regard as the most egregious of tax shelters. Beaten, Long himself led a move to reduce the allowance to 23% - a higher figure than the House-approved cut to 20% - hoping to forestall an even greater reduction.

Company men out here are always mentioning "the rising tide of Pacific business," the giant market in Asia barely tapped?"1 out of 18 jobs in the state is linked to foreign trade," one executive says. And the domestic market promises even more. By 1975, personal income in California will have soared to $110 billion! But David Mahoney, young and relaxed at 46, turns out to be 180° from the kind of executives I know back East. He sits behind...
