...FLIGHT OF APOLLO 9. Starting at 10 a.m.*, the Big Three networks will cover the launching of Apollo 9 as its three astronauts begin a ten-day mission that will include the rendezvous and docking of the command service module and lunar module, a crew transfer and the first U.S. space walk since Gemini 12 in 1966. Reports will be broadcast throughout the flight...
Heretofore Americans insisted (undoubtedly with help from their doctors) on attributing a Big Daddy, pseudo-God image to any doctor.

And the bipolar alliances that arose from the ashes of World War II almost inevitably ensure that a blow struck at a weak nation may be answered by a considerably more powerful ally. As a result, the big powers' key problem is how to control the actions of their smaller brethren: consciously or unconsciously, small nations have come to realize that they can act with relative impunity to achieve their own goals. The United Nations, once looked upon as a potential peace-keeping force, seems as unable...
