...Boston Gynecologist John Rock, despite his Roman Catholic faith, put his name to a birth-control petition nearly 40 years ago. This modest act was dictated by conscience rather than defiance. With Dr. Gregory Pincus and Dr. M. C. Chang, Rock went on to develop the Pill, the first really effective contraceptive device. As Pope Paul VIs encyclical made clear last summer, the Catholic hierarchy is not yet prepared to abandon a position that it has maintained for 1,770 years.

But the essential communications systems and the computers that stored and evaluated flight data were powered by NASA's own generators and continued to operate; they never stopped digesting telemetered information from...

He then nudged the craft to within 5 ft. of the 54B in a simulated docking maneuver. On later missions, Apollo will dock with a lunar...
...music has a complexity that is normally achieved only with electronic synthesizers. At other times, it has the air of unexpectedness that is characteristic of chance, or aleatory, writing. Yet Berio employs neither electronics nor chance. Sinfonia is essentially music that could have been produced only by the control and unfailing instincts...
