...with ultramodern exuberance from the scabbed red roofs of Dutch colonial slums. Since the signing of the Korean-Japanese Normalization Treaty in 1965, the Japanese presence in South Korea has redoubled: Japanese tourists swarm through Seoul, businessmen enjoy the gamy delights of the Walker Hill sex complex, and Japanese Corona taxi-cabs-now assembled in Korea-throng the streets. In Taipei's elegant hostelries, pin-striped Japanese papa-sans and their kimono-clad ladies queue up for bus tours to the Japanese-style inns that dot Taiwan's craggy green coast...
...Secretary Bill Moyers alone was assigned to draft the speech, which is normally a team effort. Through the week, Cabinet officers and presidential aides slipped into the White House through a side door to deliver the latest budgetary figures and policy recommendations. Moyers, working at his small electric Smith-Corona, in machine-gun bursts of 100 words per minute, translated the reports into Johnsonian prose, sending off completed portions to wherever the President happened to be at the moment. Johnson worked endlessly on the crisp, newly typed pages with his favorite soft-lead pencils...
...lengthening shadows cast by Surveyor itself appeared with startling clarity in shots of nearby terrain. In one picture, the 10-ft.-high spaceship's shadow stretched 50 ft. away. At sunset, the camera, aimed directly at the solar fireball, captured the brilliant halo of the sun's corona-usually invisible on earth because of the terrestrial atmosphere.

The four-minute time exposure showed one of its footpads illuminated only by eerie earthlight-the sunlight...
...Should Work. Heart of the Gourdine generator is a pressurized furnace that spews a stream of hot gas and fly ash down a narrow tube. At the mouth of the tube, the bits of ash pass a "corona discharge" electrode, a needlepointed piece of metal that carries so high an electrical potential that it sprays the surrounding space with a supply of positive ions. Picked up by the passing ash as it is boosted along by the hot gas, those ions move down the tube creating, in effect, an electric current. The electrical resistance that develops is overcome...
...reason was given for the resignation, although Litchfield, 51, is still recuperating from a heart attack and is under doctors' orders to reduce his work load (among his other jobs: chairmanship of the S.C.M. Corp., formerly Smith Corona Marchant). Litchfield leaves with the legislature still debating whether to put privately endowed Pitt under state control and with trustees divided as to what he has actually accomplished. Banker Frank Denton brusquely dismissed his plans as "pipe dreams." But Trustee Chairman Gwilym Price, accepting the resignation, wrote Litchfield: "You have done more for the University of Pittsburgh in a decade than...
