...Civilian Agency. On the theory that far horizons demand a fresh approach, some space planners advocate an entirely new federal agency that would direct either the entire U.S. space program or, at minimum, its nonmilitary aspects. House Majority Leader John McCormack has proposed a five-member National Science Council. In the Senate, Arkansas' John McClellan and Minnesota's Hubert Humphrey have sponsored a measure authorizing establishment of a department of science and technology run by a secretary with Cabinet rank. Currently these proposals for another Government agency are downrated because the agency would have to undergo the lengthy...

...voyage to the neighborhood of Mars, about 35 million miles away, will take only slightly more fuel than a near approach to the moon. In each case most of the fuel is expended while breaking away from the strong, close-in gravitational field of the earth. A landing on Mars and a take-off from the Martian surface would be extremely costly in fuel, but Dr. Schilt points out that landing on one of the small moons of Mars would cost practically nothing. The outer moon, Deimos, is about five miles in diameter, and has hardly any gravitation. The spaceship...

Playwright Schary is constantly concerned with domestic rather than public matters, not least with home and mother-things that dictate a pretty gingerly and sugar-tongued approach. Some of the play's characters are never really used; some never come alive because of the ticklishness of treating people still actually alive.

...argument was on. Said Pittsburgh's assistant director of the Carnegie Institute, Leon A. Arkus: "I understand Mr. Churchill is a terrific bricklayer too, but nobody is exhibiting bricks this season." Cincinnati Art Museum Director Philip R. Adams added: "Such exhibits throw off the whole public approach to art. This is 'Churchill art,' not just art. We have to defend art itself.
