They consulted with leading physicists, used M.I.T. computers, and determined whether Cape Kennedy's launch-pad capacity could be expanded in time. The groups then coordinated their findings and, using systems engineering, devised a master plan to meet the threat of Icarus...
That great big hole in the ground near Kimberley gives Harry Oppenheimer, 58, chairman of the board of De Beers Consolidated Mines, Ltd., a leeway of personal expression unknown to most South Africans.

Thus, beginning at dawn, 20 members of Florida's Pelican Island Audubon Society raced through the boondocks south of Cape Kennedy to cover a 15-mile-wide circle of fresh-water marshes, piny woods and citrus groves; whenever their cars stopped, their binoculars popped up and down like yo-yos. They quit early at dusk, satisfied at having spotted 129 species, including such rarities as the upland plover...
