...MYSTERY. Said the Times: "His emotion-charged address leaves us less than satisfied with his partial explanations for a gross failure of responsibility, and more than ever convinced that the concerned town, county and state officials of Massachusetts have also failed in their duty thoroughly to investigate this case because of the political personality involved...
...Prayers Sought How will the case affect Kennedy's political career? One factor will be to what extent the U.S. public accepts his TV account of the debacle. It was a slick, carefully written statement that was well-delivered, with uncanny echoes of the haunting John Kennedy voice. Apart from its failure to answer key questions, it was disturbing in other respects. It played somewhat cheaply on the "Kennedy curse" and brought in rather more than necessary the shades of the slain brothers. Above all, Kennedy seemed to want it both ways. He asked to shoulder the blame for what...
Long before the rocks arrived, scientists started to debate the scientific results of the lunar voyage. M.I.T.

Certain that the moon specimens will show some evidence that there was once water on the moon, Dr. Persa Bell, director of NASA's Lunar Receiving Lab, bet a skeptical colleague a bottle of Scotch...
...received by staff-room consoles, which funnel the most important bits to the control room and store the rest. The space program's major contractors-North American Rockwell for the command and service modules, Grumman for the lunar module-also keep staff members in nearby offices. In case of trouble with spacecraft equipment, the contractors can call major subcontractors on their own hot lines. Mission Control maintains an up-to-the-minute list of the whereabouts of some 40,000 key scientists and engineers associated with Apollo...

The laws of the high seas, for example, call for freedom of navigation even while they allow nations to exploit specific areas for commercial, scientific, and-in the case of nuclear tests-military purposes. Maritime laws generally use "reasonableness" as the criterion for how much benefit one nation may derive from the sea-a standard that will probably apply when the question arises of how big a slice of the moon the U.S. can claim for scientific use. Spacefaring...
