...different theory is attributed to a prominent Soviet scientist, who feels that "the unseen side of the moon is considerably more monotonous than the side turned towards the earth." Several American astronomers share this opinion, which stems from a speculation that the earth's gravitational pull has distorted the near side...
Menzel stressed the need for more research money if the United States is to duplicate the Soviet feat. He did not care to predict the date of a successful American moon circuit, adding, "I only wish I knew." Lunik is now in orbit around the earth...

According to Fainsod, a very important third step in the exchange process would be an agreement enabling "more senior people to spend longer periods of research...

Harvard's influence as an eminent academic institution would both strengthen the Association and make the University's membership fruitful; students should vote to rejoin...
