...also far more elaborate than that set up by the Geneva agreements. For the first 60 days of the ceasefire, a 3,000-man military commission, composed of representatives from all four signatories to the treaty, will be deployed across the country, ready to deter and detect violations and to act as a forum for settling differences. The ICC will report any infractions it discovers to the commission, and vice versa. After 60 days, the U.S. and North Viet Nam will withdraw from the four-party commission, leaving a permanent military commission made up equally of South Vietnamese and Provisional...
That statistic did not deter Astronomer Peter van de Kamp of Swarthmore (Pa.) College's Sproul Observatory. In the late 1960s, after years of patient observation, he provided what seems to be the first evidence of planets beyond the solar system: two large Saturn-size bodies circling Barnard's Star, which is 5.9 light-years from earth. Now van de Kamp has announced a discovery that may be still more significant. At a meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Las Cruces, N. Mex., he reported finding another unseen body orbiting the star Epsilon Eridani, 10.7 light-years...

She takes a negative and pasts up a college of this repeated image. For her, this black shape becomes an icon, indestructible, despite efforts to cut it up and change its positions...
McGovern becomes impatient with the complex theories of what might be needed to fight a nuclear war, arguing that there are no effective defenses and that once such a war starts, the choice between "calamity and catastrophe" is meaningless. The point is to deter a nuclear exchange, and McGovern insists that beyond a minimum, the number of missiles that opposing sides have is irrelevant. The U.S. has far more warheads than the 200 he figures are necessary to destroy the limited targets that would have to be attacked to render either China or Russia helpless...
