...Worth It? About satellites that carry human beings Dr. DuBridge is dubious. "For most scientific explorations in space," he said, "the presence of man involves quite unwarranted complications and expense not justified by what he can contribute to the success of the venture . . . .

Official disclosures of the content of the accord, for example, indicate that should Eisen-hower become disabled, Nixon would become "Acting President" until the President had recovered...
