...Your book reviewer seems puzzled both as to where T. S. Eliot found the original title of The Waste Land [Nov. 22] and what that title He Do the Police in Different Voices means. I cannot speak with authority as to why Eliot chose to call his poem by that name, but there is no doubt that it comes from a book called Our Mutual Friend by Charles Dickens...
Keeping pace with the space program's schedule of increasing excitement is no less of a challenge for the staff of TIME'S Science section in New York. Associate Editor Leon Jaroff, who wrote the cover story, says that he still cannot quite come to terms with the astounding fact that a manned capsule will almost surely reach the moon in his lifetime. Researcher Sydnor Vanderschmidt, who has worked on 18 Science covers, twelve of them concerned with space, admits that for her the novelty of space flight had begun to wane-until she began collecting information about...
...Secretary of Defense was "inclined" to agree that there is a need for the new bomber, and with that, AMSA gained new impetus. Already, $120 million has been spent for advanced research and development. However, under the terms of last week's agreement, the Air Force cannot go ahead with full development and procurement. First, there will be a design competition that will last at least two years and cost several hundred million dollars. By waiting for a successful design to be developed by industry, the Pentagon will be able to spread the costs over the two-year period...
Some radicals say that until institutions have been changed you cannot expect people to change, no matter how much you condition them. This kind of rigid social determinism is discredited by the empirical truth that the institutions of the Soviet Union have largely been changed but its people seem just as avaricious as any in the world. The two developments are linked. Capitalism breeds a capitalist mentality but its grip is not unshakable. A man can, of his own free will, renounce his old mentality for a new one. Radicalism will breed just as fragile a radical mentality. The choice...
Some say that a society cannot be run on idealistic lines because, to speak symbolically, someone has to collect the garbage. I disagree. Why can't machines do the collecting? Why is it impossible that everybody might help? If actions were not dictated by your desire for wealth, garbage collecting would be like any other job. There is no theoretical barrier to a good society. One just has to try to achieve it; other animal societies have. The bees, for example, and they have evolved for at least a billion years longer than man so there must be something rational...
