...Byrd took off after his accuser, item by item. Humphrey had called his committee "the No. i example of waste and extravagance," snorted Byrd. That was not only a misstatement; "even in this atomic era of superlatives, it must go down as a super-exaggeration." In the past nine years the committee had spent only $127,000. In return, it had pushed through savings of more than $2.4 billion...
...Nashiille, an ancient cruiser that had fired the first shot in the Spanish-American War and steamed off to World War I with the help of two sails. Now, he likes to remember his tour in the Nashville as a personal link to the Navy's windjamming past. But staring into salt spray for periscopes did not fit Forrest Sherman's plans for long.

Until the last minute, neither the navigator nor the operations officer had sounded a warning as the Mo steamed on toward the sand flats at 15 knots, 10 to 15 degrees off course, past plain landmarks ashore.

Sponsors bought and disposed of entertainers largely on the basis of the fluctuations in their popularity reported by the semimonthly charts of C. E. Hooper, Inc. Other researchers, and in particular Chicago's A. C. Nielsen Co., indignantly charged that the Hooper system, based on phone calls and limited to 36 large cities, was both incomplete and subject to error "as high as 40%." Gadget-minded Arthur Nielsen in his surveys used Audimeters, which are attached to radios in selected homes and record on film the time...
