...about-"as many as 70 to 80 worries at a time," a friend recalls. Some of the worries went away, some were solved, some blossomed into full-scale crises. But the sum total verified his creed that forethought should be a foundation stone of U.S. foreign policy. In a complex and changing world, he argues, it is not enough to think about problems and challenges as they arise. "We are going to have to aim at the future," he says, "if we expect to come on target in the present. Otherwise, our problems fly by and we just knock...
...N.F.L.'s cellar teams. The team has no great passer, no great receiver, no breakaway back-the standard prerequisite for a successful pro team. Instead, Green Bay uses rugged, old-fashioned blocking to open holes for rugged, old-fashioned ball carriers. To Vince Lombardi, 47, even the complex game of the pros can be reduced to the simple principle of knocking people down. "To play in this league," he says, "you've got to be tough-physically tough and mentally tough...

In addition to satisfying the need of parched humans, the bases must also slake the huge thirst of the rocket complex: thousands of gallons of water are needed to cool intricate machinery and to air-condition control rooms 25 to 35 ft. below the surface...
Three miles east of the shopping area will be the heart of the new development, the 1,000-acre university section where the University of California is building a new branch. The first buildings will be ready to receive the students in 1964; when completed in 1980, the entire complex will house 25,000 students. Since many of them will want part-time jobs, light industry (electronics, aircraft and missile components) will be located on the perimeter of the university section...
...Doctor, like everyone else in the film, is presented as a three-dimensional character, who should be motivated by complex, but discernible and plausible psychological impulses. His intense resentment of Vogler's art reflefted in his sententious speeches can only be explained in symbolic terms. However, Vergerius's symbolization is not even barely convincing. He remains a curt cynic despite Bergman's attempt to transform him into a symbol of Rationalism. This injection of the Symbol into highly realistic characters has given Bergman trouble in the past--but never to such an extent...
