The article presents information on U.S. politics. The U.S. government is said to be proceeding with preparations of nuclear tests in Nevada. The weapons have been readied, the tunnels have been dug. Additional tests will only speed the process, already well advanced, by which nuclear arms will become conventional arms. The press would be performing a public service if it were to emphasize the importance of the test-suspension negotiations. The U.S. industry continues to spawn new social types - witness the emergence of the hybrid capitalist-socialist type in the post-Korean, or accelerated amortization era. Currently the commercial airlines are concerned about reports that the Soviet and British governments are preparing to subsidize the development of 2,000-mile-an-hour airliners.
