...history of maritime safety laws is a catalogue of disasters. The first international code came in 1914, two years after the sinking of the Titanic; the latest in 1960, four years after the loss of the Andrea Doria. The U.S., which has the world's most stringent regulations, adopted them only after the Morro Castle burned and sank off New Jersey in 1934. As a sequel to the fiery death this month of the cruise shipYarmouth Castle, shipowners may well be forced to comply with more meaningful safety standards...
...Charles G. Willoughby, general manager of the Cooperative, said in a telephone interview that college stores which report less student shoplifting than Yale are probably using less stringent security measures. "We had been using off-duty city detectives, like many stores, but decided to substitute a full-time, five-man guard," he explained...
Both bases put a tremendous strain on Britain's badly stretched economy: Aden costs $168 million a year to maintain, Singapore and Malaysia $630 million. Whitehall planners, currently preparing next February's defense review under the most stringent of cost-accounting standards, are confronted with a knotty dilemma. Britain must pare its projected 1970 defense costs from $6.7 billion to $5.6 billion; at the same time, the "ghastly blank" in the thin red line of defenses that will exist between Europe and Hong Kong must be filled if Britain is to meet her responsibilities in foreign policy...
Officials at local draft boards and state headquarters said yesterday that the more stringent enforcement of the requirement would apply primarily to seniors in their fifth year.

...nations have only themselves to blame. They squander their supplies in haphazard irrigation, pollute their readiest sources, and are casual about preparing for dry years. In 1950 a research team warned New York City that it would need additional water by 1970, recommended the installation of meters* and stringent measures to stop leakage in the aqueducts and water mains. A pumping station was built upriver on the Hudson, then dismantled as soon as the 1950-51 emergency was over. Nothing was done about meters, and the city still loses at least 30 million gallons of water daily from leaks...
