McNamara Claims $14 Billion Saving From Defense Cuts
Secretary Robert S. McNamara released a report asserting defense- cost reductions saved U.S. taxpayers $14 billion over five years, with $4.5 billion saved last year. He highlighted three core principles: buy only what is needed, buy at the lowest sound price, and cut operating costs. He cautioned about overfinance amid Vietnam commitments and said gains in the war are not evidence of imminent settlement. He spoke at a Sunday-night briefing and scheduled a midafternoon news conference.

Downtown Lawrence Split over Mall Plan and Canopies
Urban design experts Gerald Crane and James Hatcher examined Lawrence Massachusetts Street from 6th to 11th Street and found the downtown area dying. Crane urged a full mall with traffic removed from Massachusetts while Hatcher favored keeping traffic and proposed canopies along store fronts to unify the street. Both agreed on beautification, signage control, and riverfront or building preservation, but Crane pressed immediate city action while Hatcher offered general ideas without firm proposals.
