...Cover: Color-key transfer by Fred Burrell, whose technique of diffusing the photograph through various layers of colored plastic is intended to suggest the mist of horror surrounding the massacre and any who participated...
After Secretary Resor showed color photographs of massacre victims to the Senate and House Armed Services Committees, none doubted that an atrocity had been committed. Pennsylvania's Richard Schweiker described the affair as "a simplistic, deliberate act of inhumanity?one of the darkest days in American history." Near tears, Ohio's Stephen Young said he had seen a young woman begging not to be shot while a child clung to her neck and scenes of "youngsters who had been killed at close range, with their insides hanging out." He called it "an abominable atrocity...
...WITH ecstatic verbal descriptions, Apollo 12 Astronauts Charles Conrad and Alan Bean enabled millions of listeners on earth to share their experiences as they walked and worked on the surface of the moon. But the failure of the color TV camera brought to the moon aboard the lunar module Intrepid deprived earthbound watchers of the spectacular sights that should have accompanied the sounds.

Movie and still films brought back by the astronauts were flown...

Even in Southern California, where department-store sales are generally up, one discount-store manager, Paul Hulse of Redondo Beach's Hartfield-Zodys, detects a downturn in sales of color televisions, luxury refrigerators and stoves. To meet the competition of discount stores, Sears, Roebuck has opened some 175 of its 825 stores for business on Sunday. Retailers-and automakers-can take heart from a historical pattern detected in a University of Michigan study. Over the past 25 years, consumers have...
