Surveyor & Orbiter. What will buoyant J.P.L. try next? Two more photographic Rangers are in preparation, and they will probably search for smooth lunar plains unscored by splashed-out rocks, and otherwise suitable for landings. Later, J.P.L.'s unmanned Surveyor spacecraft will soft-land on the moon, collect lunar material, analyze it on the spot and radio to earth reports of its chemical and physical character. For large-scale moon-mapping, J.P.L.'s Orbiter will whirl closely around the moon, transmitting thousands of pictures of its surface. With J.P.L.'s unmanned space, technology now in full flower, such...

But before he could either collect or deliver, Julian had to check into the very place where the U.N. detained him two years ago: a hospital now run by the Danes.

...ration pelvienne, Dr. Brunschwig reports that no fewer than 116 of his 562 patients have lived five years or longer after the operation. Virtually all have been glad that they submitted to the extensive amputation, even though many have had to wear a bag strapped to their waists to collect urine and feces. Some have been able to work for years, with no outward sign of their condition...
