...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. Last week, while the astronauts remained in quarantine aboard the carrier U.S.S. Hornet, the world finally got a close-up view of the Ocean of Storms. Movie and still films brought back by the astronauts were flown...

Critics have long-and unfairly-blamed the Vatican for almost every controversial move made by companies in which it has substantial holdings. For example, when Immobiliare teamed up with Conrad Hilton to build the Cavalieri Hilton Hotel on a Rome hilltop, the leftist press angrily accused the Holy See of wire pulling to arrange the zoning. When the government carved Via Olimpica across Rome to speed traffic to the 1960 Olympic Games, anticlerical pundits charged that the thoroughfare was laid out to provide huge profits for Immobiliare, which owned big tracts of property along the route. Early this year, small...
