...Your story on Bach [Dec, 27] was the best Christmas cover story for a long, long time. Every word brought illumination and joy; you had the symmetry, the inevitable Tightness in every part. You have an art of your own. I left a reading of every word with a sense of completeness; the Bach violin partitas began sounding through my mind as I got up. You caught the heart of the Bachian Restoration in a magnificent end-of-year cadenza. What is better for space travel than the accompaniment of Bach? Long live Bach...
Only a few weeks before the shot, the editors told their readers of the promises and perils of the impending moon flight in a SCIENCE cover story written by Associate Editor Leon Jaroff (TIME, Dec. 6), who also wrote this week's story of the astronauts' flight. To cover the shot, Houston Bureau Chief Don Neff, Washington Correspondent David Lee and Houston Stringer Jim Schefter, all veterans of earlier and less ambitious shots, filed from location. Lee and Schefter stayed at Cane Kennedy until the successful liftoff; then Schefter piloted them by private plane to Houston...
...taxpayer will be hit with an increase in Social Security taxes; the maximum payment, for people earning $7,800 a year or more, will go up from $290 to $374.

The Reporter, banned for a month, welcomed itself back into print with a cover story on the student sit-in, two cartoons satirizing censorship, and an editorial promising to "demand justice" in the event of "any further interference with freedom of expression." Even under the system of self-censorship imposed on publications by the Soviets, it is surprising that so much irreverence got through. But the Reporter employed a rather special system for choosing its own censor, whose name happens to be Vladimir. As a fellow staffer explained...
...Nolan's cover is an overture for the book. Its color is old-moss green, the green of stale water. The page is divided by an unbroken sea-horizon. Running the edge of the even ocean is the boat of the poems -- "our soul...a three master seeking port." An old-fashioned wire grave fence spans the dark sky. Behind the fence hover five "characters" -- anonymous creatures. They are placed like a line-up of black sheep to carry us into the dream-vision of the book. We see them again and again -- hermetic figures, alone, hungry, against the austere...
