Titov toured costs loom over U S taxpayers
The piece argues Titov's space flight magnifies costs for American taxpayers and morale, urging accelerated space and defense programs, foreign aid, and wiser spending to catch up with the Soviet Union. It notes the U S must fund bombers, submarines, missiles, and aid while seeking strong returns and global prestige. It also mourns Fount H Bullock, Ottawa's former police chief, praising his public service and respected leadership.
