...Paul Trent, a farmer who spotted and photographed a saucer 20 ft. to 30 ft. in diameter hovering over his field. Trent's saucer, which resembled a garbage-can cover, is similar to one photographed over France in 1954. Negatives of his pictures, which are among the clearest UFO shots ever obtained, will be analyzed electronically for authenticity. Condon's second case involves several sightings in the vicinity of Levelland, Texas, on the night of Nov. 2, 1957, when glowing elliptical objects 200 ft. long hovered over highways, terrifying several motorists and causing their cars' ignition...
Double Standard. The clearest enunciation of this curious double standard came from Pulitzer Prizewinning Historian (The Guns of August) Barbara Tuchman, a critic of the Administration on Viet Nam.

...device that splits a beam of light, sends each half along a path of different length, and then rejoins them in an interference pattern of light and dark fringes. Computer analysis and averaging of these patterns by scientists at Block Associates in Cambridge, Mass., produced two of the clearest spectrograms ever obtained of Venus at high altitude. Although the spectrograms conclusively proved that there were no ice crystals in the Venusian atmosphere, they did reveal what appeared to be a significant trace of water vapor. But Kuiper and his associates were not deceived...

Under LSD they could do this for three or four minutes, hardly squinting and feeling no pain, so their eyes were wide open to the sun's infra-red rays, and the macula, the point of clearest vision in the retina, was badly burned. There is no effective treatment. Explained one boy: "I was holding a religious conversation with...
Moments before adopting the new policy, the Committee voted down an amendment to strike the qualifying phrase. Committeeman Francis H. Duehay, assistant dean of the Ed School, and author of the amendment argued that the policy would be clearest and most effective if the Committee did not try assert any power to censor controversial speakers...
