...lunar expeditions become more ambitious, so will their hardware. NASA is now improving the life-support systems in the lunar module to allow visits to the moon of up to three days by 1970. The agency is also developing more flexible space suits and designing a small rocket-propelled "lunar flyer...
...tough image is not without foundation. To fight crime in the District of Columbia, Mitchell has advocated preventive detention for some suspects, a formula of uncertain constitutionality that would allow judges to withhold bail from men with criminal records. In the battle against organized crime and subversion, he has contended that the Justice Department should have far greater control than it now has to conduct wiretaps and plant electronic bugs (see THE LAW).

Senate cigarette foes, in fact, promise either to pass a tougher law or do nothing-and thus allow the regulatory agencies to impose almost any rules they please. Understandably, N.A.B. officials had been working on their blackout proposal for some time, and their announcement last week came soon after Utah Democrat Frank Moss, head of the Senate Consumer Subcommittee, sent telegrams advising them that they had better...
