...little boy," Johnson remembered, "that I'd never know what it meant to be a father until I was a father. And one never knows what it is to be a President until you are a President." He continued: "We are very proud to stand behind you and to support you in your earnest quest for peace in the world and for prosperity at home. No man occupied the place that you occupy who didn't want to do the best he could. Some have succeeded, and some have had less success. But of this...
...first, the seismometer left behind at Tranquillity Base radioed back several signals that were interpreted in some quarters as distinct moonquakes, a hint that the moon-like the earth -was stratified and geologically alive. Now, says Geophysicist Gary Latham of Columbia University, investigators think that the patterns may have been caused spuriously by the seismometer itself. Yet, even while it seemed to be working well, says Latham, the seismometer detected only infrequent, relatively small lunar rumbles. He accounts for that odd seismic behavior by speculating that the moon contains a large amount of cold, fragmented material that would diffuse...
...their history. They slumped briefly in midsummer, but they have since rallied to win twelve of 13 games.

To build it the company would either have to destroy Grand Central's facade (a superlative example of the ornate Beaux Arts style and a splendid climax to the long sweep of lower Park Avenue) or crowd it with a bland, impersonal slab set only 30 feet behind it. Either plan, the commission ruled, was unacceptable in a city already too poor in dramatic vistas. The commission's decision is legally binding, but Penn Central is expected to contest it in the State Supreme Court...
...secular mind, the vision of monks and nuns living silently and praying ceaselessly behind cloister walls has always seemed, at best, a kind of regrettable eccentricity-harmless enough, but useless too. Yet the Roman Catholic Church, and such Protestant sympathizers as the Monks of Taizé in France, have insisted that the contemplative life is a special and noble vocation. The fathers of Vatican II declared in a 1965 decree that "communities that are entirely dedicated to contemplation are a glory of the church and a wellspring of heavenly graces." While some adaptation to modern life might be in order...
