...moon and back would cost roughly $2 billion, and that, say the scientists, raises an important question: "Since there are still so many unanswered scientific questions and problems all around us on earth, why should we start asking new questions and seeking out new problems in space? Scientific research, of course, has never been amenable to rigorous cost accounting in advance. Nor, for that matter, has exploration of any sort. But if we have learned one lesson, it is that research and exploration have a remarkable way of paying off -quite apart from the fact that they demonstrate that...
...bill up for discussion before a caucus of Senate Republicans one day last week promised to freeze farm props for another year at the surplus-building levels that cost the U.S. $3.25 billion last fiscal year. Already passed by both branches of Congress (TIME, March 31), it was a deliberate slap in the face for Agriculture Secretary Ezra Taft Benson, who wants permission to cut farm subsidies and make a start toward whittling down the scandalous farm-surplus problem. The argument essentially was between principle and politics. It took the Republican caucus exactly 80 minutes to stand foursquare with politics...
...returned from one prewar trip to convince his father that cars had it all over camels-a message that was to cost Saudi millions for air-conditioned Cadillacs. But as Saudi princes go, Feisal lives modestly, restricting himself to a couple of modest palaces and only one wife, to whom he has been married for 22 years...
...name of the "one group" from Dr. Phelps, but no hearer doubted that he meant the American College of Surgeons, which, in its campaign for higher standards of surgery, has vastly increased the surgeon's jurisdiction as against the G.P.'s. ¶ Medical care in general costs too much, said Dr. Francis D. Moore, surgeon in chief of Boston's Peter Bent Brigham Hospital (TIME, May 6), to a meeting of New England hospital officials. "It is the most fantastically expensive item in our civilization," and especially in the U.S., it has luxury aspects that should...
...trade publications and scientific magazines such as the American Rocket Society's Astronautics and Jet Propulsion. The new issue ranges from space-travel's past-a piece on Massachusetts-born Rocket Pioneer Robert H. Goddard (1882-1945)-to such futuristic items as an estimate of the cost of sending mail by rocket to the moon ($25 a letter). It even offers a relaxing bit of science fiction ("The liquid blonde girl came toward him, smiling . . ."). The slick-paper Space Journal is flawed by wooden pictures, text that sometimes strays too far ahead of or behind the layman...
