...basically the answers from Atlanta are correct. They represent a rededication to ideals that have always had a place in the civil-rights movement. For students thinking of going South for the summer, the answers pose a challenge: to decide whether they are motivated by the romantic appeal of working in Mississippi or by a real desire to change the Southern political structure. For Southern Negroes, the answers given in Atlanta offer the best hope of meaningful and permanent power...

...Correct Correction. The first step toward a precision Ranger shot is to put the spacecraft on a parking orbit around the earth. That orbit is then analyzed by computers; the spacecraft's altitude, speed and direction must be measured with infinite care, for the next burst of power must boost the spacecraft through an imaginary target 120 miles above the earth and only ten miles in diameter. Only then can a mid-course correction of trajectory put the spacecraft inside the selected area...

Ranger VIII hit the ten-mile target at the correct speed, set itself at the proper angle to the sun and the earth, and kept in tight communication with its ground-control stations. About 17 hours after launch, the command came from its masters at Pasadena's Jet Propulsion Laboratory to prepare for the critical mid-course maneuver. Dutifully Ranger writhed in space, turning its gleaming golden body as it was told.

Whatever the details of negotiation and withdrawal, that is the only course which will allow the United States to begin to correct the errors of 20 years of military foreign policy in Southeast Asia. Militarily oriented strategies must be abandoned for a new diplomacy that has a response other than armed hostility to an emerging Communist nation. If China attacks Vietnam after the U.S. pulls out, that may be the time for another Korea. But a war policy now would do little to enhance U.S. power in Asia, would surely weaken U.S. prestige everywhere else in the world, and would...
