...such as Port Clinton, Ohio (pop. 7,000), which stands to lose 2,000 jobs when the Erie Army Depot closes next year, such shifts can be ruinous. The committee therefore urged continued research and government help to soften the impact of changing military technology. This, rather than any likelihood of widespread unemployment as a result of disarmament, is the Administration's principal cutback worry...
Crisis in the Making. Fortunately, Shuman's blood pressure is low, for there is little likelihood that the farm mess will be solved in the near future. Any substantial answer lies elusively between the extremes represented by Charles Shuman and Willard Cochrane.

Given Brazilian politics, that...
...previously approved business like pig-meat subsidies and inland-waterway rates. Still, so complex have the Six's economic ties become that De Gaulle's veto on any new business has the effect of slowly strangling the Community. With the summer holidays approaching, there was little likelihood of negotiating an end to the crisis until after the German elections in September...
