...Catholic President faced with a foreign-aid bill that included an artificial birth-control program would be no different from a Protestant President faced with an analogous religious issue. For example: a Methodist with a bill that would provide drinking facilities for the armed forces; a Christian Scientist, in a public health program; a Quaker, in a defense budget.

Pressure & Management. Part of the blame can be laid to the pressures inherent in a crash program. But as the failures pile up, Martin is getting so edgy (Martin crews call their pads at Canaveral "the inferiority complex") that the experts accuse it of becoming "fail-safe happy," of burdening the Titan with too many extra safety relays and circuits, gadgets that in themselves fail...
