...neighborhood. Thus, by some measures, the area shows considerable stability; the 1960 census reveals that nearly 50 percent of the population had moved into the area before 1953 and 19 percent had arrived before 1939. And the life-long residents who show up at protest meeting after protest meeting confirm the statistics. Yet, the area is not totally immobile either. The census figures also show that fully 28 per cent of the residents who, in 1960, lived in the projected path had moved there only during the previous two years. Informal city figures between 1965 and 1967 show that about...

Your story of May 16 concerning a Harvard physician's eye-witness report of the shocking civilian casualties in Vietnam helped to confirm statistics which many of us have known for some time. By conservative reckoning, we can estimate that 750 thousand civilians have been killed and 1.5 million wounded (probably half of them children) through the end of 1966. And this does not include the thousands afflicted by malnutrition and often starvation, due to normally bad conditions which have been immeasurably worsened by scorched-earth warfare...

With its facile, steel-tipped aluminum claw, which can be extended to 5 ft., Surveyor dug and photographed more trenches, helping to confirm its earlier finding that the soil at the surface in this area of the Ocean of Storms is dry and granular but has the cohesiveness of wet sand. By measuring the current drawn by the electric motors that operated the claw, JPL scientists determined that the surrounding surface has a bearing strength of 6 lbs. per sq. in., more than enough to support the Apollo astronauts...

...discoveries, says Biophysicist Gilbert, confirm that cells of E. coli are controlled by gene-repressing agents and effectively demonstrate how simple cell mechanisms work. They may bring closer the day when scientists will be capable of genetic control of human beings, determining their characteristics and correcting metabolic defects by turning the proper genes...
