The tony Florian on Boston's Newbury Street serves ten different kinds of coffee, caters to little old ladies nibbling anchovy canapes.

Rather than try again with Atlas-Able, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration last week called off future moon shots until next summer, when more powerful rockets are due to be available: the Centaur and Agena B which, atop the Atlas booster, will provide more efficient thrust in the upper stages, should be able to carry payloads of up to 700 lbs. to the moon.
