...side of the battle: a segment of New York's 1,500,000 seven-to 20-year-olds whose values have so warped to the point that their crime rate has risen 60% in five years. On the other side of the battle: New York City's police department, facing a problem that has no real precedent in the department's 329 years of dealing with every crime known...
...last week went a $30 million order from Northwest Airlines for five extra-long-range DC-8 jet transports, thus launching the last of the major U.S. airlines into the jet age. The announcement pushed total commercial jet orders to 262, but it brought no cheers from one important segment of the industry: the men who run the crowded U.S. airways.

Politically too, the range of allegiances is fairly middle...

Secretary Dulles, declared one European statesman, "is a much-maligned man. If only everyone could hear him in a closed session." "You know," echoed a member of one of the smaller NATO delegations, "Mr. Dulles did not once give us a lecture, did not once tell us about morality...
