...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's Manned Spacecraft Center, thus escaping the massive migration of newsmen that...
With Jan. 20 and its problems almost upon him, Nixon was determined last week to enjoy a final period of privacy and relaxation. After giving Daughter Julie in marriage to David Eisenhower, the President-elect left frigid, flu-ridden New York (he had a mild case himself) for Key Biscayne, Fla. He has purchased adjacent homes there that will serve both as a winter White House and a legal residence; the Nixons are planning to sell their cooperative apartment on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue.

...South and most have traditionally had ministers as presidents-often men of intellectual distinction but with no training as educators. However bombastic in the pulpit, they made a point of being obliging to white authority. They demanded little, and they got little.

Next day, the free market price of gold jumped in London to a six-month high of $41.82, and Nixon Press Aide Ron Ziegler tried to quiet the uncertainty by declaring: "We do not anticipate...
Slouched Inside. In New York City, large numbers of policemen seem to have the sleeping-on-duty habit, which they call "cooping." Last week quite a few of them were caught in the coop by New York Times Reporter David Burnham, who cruised the streets in the early morning seeking their hideaways. He found police cruisers on back streets, under bridges and in parks-all with their occupants slouched inside. Some of them even took pillows and alarm clocks with them when they went out on patrol. One sergeant, who used to be in charge of a slum neighborhood recalled...
