...creation of a new body of law is the aim of the New York-based Environmental Defense Fund, organized in 1967 by Mrs. Yannacone's lawyer husband, Victor. Suing on behalf of all Americans, E.D.F. brings in expert witnesses, mainly scientists, to testify about environmental dangers, such as hard pesticides like DDT. The cases are always based on the idea that the public has the right to a healthy environment...
...same type of data continuously," said Martin S. Huber, a Research Associate who calibrated the experiment. "But we have a real observatory with an almost infinite number of observation possibilities." The telescope can view the sun in one of 10,000 different wavelengths of ultra-violet light and can aim at a single point, take a picture of the entire sun, or scan an area only 1/15 the size of the sun's visible disc. Where earlier OSO satellites were able to take only one picture of the entire surface every 5 minutes, this telescope can also map a small...
...major observatories of the next ten years will be connected with the manned space program," Reeves said. An astronaut will sit in front of a television screen equipped with a set of cross-hairs. As he watches the sun on the screen, he will aim the cross-hairs at any areas that seem interesting, and the cross-hairs will electronically aim a telescope located outside the orbiting space station. This ability to follow sunspots, active regions, and other events immediately will be a great improvement over the present generation of automated telescopes which must be programmed a day ahead...
...there, too, that combat therapy radically and abruptly departs from its civilian equivalent. "Our aim is not to please the patient," - says Murray. "At home, the psychiatrist's orientation is toward kindness, consideration, tender loving care. Here, to be kind would be to send your patient home." The purpose of military therapy, however, is not cure but amelioration. It is to get a disabled fighting man back on the line-or, if possible, to keep him on the line...
That leaves reporters with Press Secretary Ronald Ziegler, 30, whose approach to disseminating information is as conservative as Barry Goldwater's politics. Twice daily, Ron Ziegler faces 40-odd questioners in the crowded White House briefing room. His aim is the straightforward presentation of the news that the White House wants presented -no more, no less. That usually means explaining that a program is under discussion, a decision has not yet been made, an event is being planned. The reporters want to know why, what it all means, who said what to whom. Ziegler rarely tells them. Last week...
