Risks Remain. Pentagon officials argued that defense of the lumbering spy planes requires many jet fighters. Ostensibly, the size and power of TF-71 were intended to discourage North Korea from further adventurism. But there was also a domestic political consideration. During the presidential campaign, Nixon had maintained that the U.S. should react to small provocations lest they grow into large incidents. There were plenty of hawks around last week to remind him of that remark...
...after six years, but later persuaded his father to sell him one of his several stores in Wilmington, Del.* In 1952, he ventured into Florida by buying three drugstores from an absentee owner. Five years later he sold his Delaware outlets, moved to Clearwater and began expanding. Doubling in size every two years for a decade, Eckerd Drugs has acquired a candy manufacturing concern, the twelve-store Jackson's/Byron's Enterprises department-store chain, Gray Security Inc. (watchmen and alarm systems), and the busiest film-processing laboratory in the state. The company went public in 1959; since then...

Surely but slowly, scientists are learning the structure of the basic molecules of life. They are gradually discovering how those molecules perform their exquisitely delicate and extraordinarily precise functions in all animals, from the amoeba to man. Despite their submicroscopic size, biologically active molecules are huge and complex-in atomic terms. Each one contains hundreds of thousands of atoms, arranged in submolecular groups-"building blocks" that are in turn arranged in definite numbers and patterns. Finding out how the building blocks are assembled in the major molecules has proved to be a challenging and time-consuming task...
Britain's economic dilemma is a blend of too much pride and too little selfdiscipline. For centuries Britain enjoyed overwhelming economic and political power for its size, a situation that has left the country accustomed to living beyond its shrunken means. Doubt has taken deep hold that any government-or policy-will overcome the problem. Britain long ago stopped making full use of either its individual resources or its technological know-how. Only if it succeeds in using both will its economy gain the strength to climb out of the present morass...
