Fiscal Flaws. Actually, foreign affairs are only one reason for the chronic imprecision of U.S. budgets. Last week the Committee for Economic Development, a prestigious private research group, touched on some of the other causes. Among "serious inadequacies" in the budgetary process, said C.E.D., is insufficient programming by Government departments, despite Johnson's orders last August to all federal organizations to set up Pentagon-style computerized cost-analysis systems. The C.E.D. also faulted Congress, pointing out that it rarely debates overall policy questions implicit in the budget, such as a "rational balance" between space exploration and urban renewal, which...

His father died soon thereafter. The boy was shipped off to England to become the unwanted ward of an uncle...
Every Kid a Genius. Despite his success, Newcomer is a chronic worrier who frets about the future of his schools, sometimes goes home and sips three bourbons and water to relax-then frets about having taken three drinks. He worries about integrating his schools, so far partly accomplished by bussing Negroes to junior high and high school. He once strode into a TV studio to interrupt an education speech by Governor Grant Sawyer, accused .him of "irresponsible leadership" in bucking most educational problems to the rural-dominated legislature. When an official of the Nevada Taxpayers Association called Newcomer...
