Quite Economical. The basic concept of the shuttle has changed little since the $5.25 billion project was approved by President Nixon in 1972. The plan calls for five airplane-like orbiters that can fly up to 100 missions without major overhaul, and the aim is to mount some 60 missions a year. The first of the 122-ft.-long, delta-winged ships now being assembled at Rockwell International in Palmdale, Calif., is about the size of a conventional DC-9 passenger jet, but double the weight.

FORD AND HIS CRONIES are not willing to give New York breathing space. The city is to blame for the crisis, they claim. The administration consistently refuses to recognize New York's desperate attempts to overhaul and reorganize its budget, because such a recognition might imply that the city deserves help. Ford told a meeting of midwestern small city mayors two weeks ago, "Your constituents wouldn't tolerate it if you ran your cities as badly as New York City has been run." As Ford portrays it, there is no way to help an overgrown government that has been wasting...
