...engineering test that was a preliminary to actual laser experiments during the Apollo moon mission, a group headed by University of Maryland Physicists Carroll Alley and Douglas Currie set up the lasers in four East Coast locations in addition to the two in the West. Each was projected backwards through a telescope-into the viewing end-toward Surveyor's lunar site. The telescopes were used not only to aim the beams precisely but also to further confine the beam of the coherent laser light, which diverges very little even without telescopic aid. Alley estimates that both beams had diverged...
Although diffused sunlight may have obscured the beams from East Coast stations, the two Western beams were recorded by Surveyor's camera. To make certain that the dots were indeed Alley's lasers and not transmission static, scientists turned the beams on and off, while Surveyor snapped away. On the sequence of Surveyor shots that resulted, the dots obediently appeared and disappeared...
George Romney may not be a hotshot bowler, but he is no quitter. To knock down all ten duckpins at an alley at Franklin, N.H., he took 34 balls. Pursuing his presidential hopes, Romney is proving every whit as persistent. In a valiant effort to blunt the 3-to-l edge enjoyed by Richard Nixon in the Granite State's March 12th Republican primary, Romney last week wound up his first five days of campaigning with 11,826 hands shaken and a firm belief that reports of his imminent political death are premature...

The Vatican weekly L'Osservatore della Domenica last week printed its harshest criticism yet of U.S. bombing policy, calling it a "blind alley" that undermines the U.S. "moral and political" position. Leaders of West Germany's Social Democratic Party urged Washington to end the bombing. Several U.S. Congressmen also called for a bombing pause and immediate negotiations, including Senator Robert Kennedy. "It seems to me we lose nothing if we sit down...
