...HALF-HOUR after thrusting out from earth orbit toward the moon, the astronauts faced a test that was crucial to the first actual lunar landings. They successfully separated their spacecraft from the third-stage S-4B rocket, moved 50 feet ahead of it, then turned to inspect it. After sending the S-4B off into orbit around the sun, Apollo was to continue coasting toward the moon, firing its engine briefly only if a mid-course correction was needed to put the craft precisely on its path...
Despite the FCC's well-hedged go-ahead, therefore, the future of pay TV is still uncertain, at best. Joseph Wright, board chairman of Zenith Corp., believes that start-up and production of sufficient decoding devices will mean a year's delay between FCC authorization and actual premiere of a new pay channel.

...Machines. To Western analysts, by far the most important news to emerge from the Supreme Soviet meeting was a 6% increase in Moscow's arms spending.

...whole furor was no where to be found. Once they were allowed to resume publication, newspapers gave the story banner play, but they understandably shied away from overt editorial comment. Rio's Jornal do Brasil, however, printed a wry weather report that bore no relation to actual meteorological conditions. "Weather black," it said. "Temperature suffocating. The air is unbreathable. The country is being swept by a strong wind." With parliamentary democracy and the rule of law temporarily suspended once again, the wind of popular resentment may well increase in velocity. What Costa e Silva and his generals may have...
...pressure most likely to convince the Faculty not merely of the need but of the advantages of further and faster movement. Coercive pressure of the kind of represented by the sit-in is most likely to backfire, for there is quite a difference between ordinary pressure, and an actual threat. Two, that Faculty meetings which deal with issues of deep concern to students should be open is a view well worth exploring. But it is not a simple question, and even if it were, to impose the solution by the fait accompli of a sit-in decided by one group...
