...only a slight exaggeration. What gave special relish to the job for Nat Owings was that in 32 years of designing, including work on such large-scale projects as Oak Ridge, Tenn., Moroccan airbases, and Crown Zellerbach's new building in San Francisco (TIME, Sept. 7), he had never built a house...

Having tasted free enterprise, they are determined to sit down to the entire meal. The position of the U.S. was never stronger. But it would have to keep on exercising its leadership. FRB's Martin puts it flatly: "The U.S. faces the '60s with the world by the tail, with every opportunity to be a leader, provided that it is willing to engage in sound practices...
