Distant Landscapes. The Russians also made a bow to international cooperation in space. Lunokhod carried a French-built array of 14 corner-shaped mirrors designed to reflect long-distance laser beams from observatories in southern France and the Crimea. A similar reflector left behind by Apollo 11 on the Sea of Tranquility has already enabled U.S. scientists to measure the distance between earth and moon with an accuracy of less than a foot. Indeed, U.S. observers think that the Soviets might be interested in testing such a device as a means of navigating future moon robots...
HARVARD-YALE: "Anything can happen," Brian tells us. And I'm inclined to believe him. Yovicsin, Harvard's winningest (77) coach-and its losingest (42)-will bow out today with Cap'n Crunch. Both would like to go out as winners. So Harvard, which sees no inconsistency in losing to Columbia and beating Yale in the same year, will follow the lead of the CRIMSON. Harvard...

But the tyranny Wright imposed with his irresistible, continuous spiral has been avoided at Berkeley...
...workers want at least part of the dream now. and they have the power to demand it. Unions have often been paid off at the expense of the consumer. The large unions in industries like trucking or construction have far more strength than the small, independent employers, who simply bow to wage demands, accept restrictive labor practices and pass on the increased costs to their customers. But many other industries?notably autos, steel and chemicals?run grave risks of losing markets when they kick prices up. Foreign automakers already build 15% of the cars that Americans...
