...stage, solid-fuel weapon designed to ride under a bomber's wing, then streak off on its own with a nuclear warhead aimed at targets up to 1,000 miles away. So far, the U.S. has spent or committed $657 million to develop Skybolt for use with the Strategic Air Command's B-52 bomber. And Britain has spent $25 million to adapt its otherwise obsolescent Vulcan II bomber to Skybolt...
There comes the rub. Britain has no long-range missile force of its own, canceled one land-based missile project-the 2,000-mile Blue Streak-in favor of a U.S. offer to develop Skybolt and charge Britain only the production costs of the missiles it orders. Since Britain was thereby persuaded to place all its missile hopes in Skybolt, it came as a considerable shock when the U.S. last week threatened to scrub the entire project...
...years, Rover was shunted aside in favor of crash programs to develop conventional rockets in a hurry. More recently, the project has been getting additional cash. In fiscal 1961, Rover got some $42 million; last year the figure was $89 million, and this year it is running at some $200 million. Put to Kennedy at his news conference was the question of whether his trip had persuaded him to seek even more money to speed up Rover. His answer: "We are going to let these tests go on of the reactor. These tests should be completed by July. If they...
Roll the Presses. Inflation is a familiar and painful word to Brazil. From 1956 to 1961, Juscelino Kubitschek, a President in a hurry to develop his nation, printed carloads of currency to finance industrial projects and build the inland capital of Brasilia.

At the accelerated pace inflation has lately taken, an end must come some time soon, and Goulart undoubtedly knows it. But politics...
...stake in the seesawing war. "Nasser is out to destroy everything." says King Hussein, 27-and Hussein ought to know: almost from the moment he was proclaimed King in 1952, assassins incited by Nasser propaganda have been gunning for him. In the decade since, Hussein has struggled manfully to develop his little land; today he happily supplies Yemen's royalists with money and munitions to stave off a Nasser victory that might sweep away the fruits of progress in his own country...
