...view by the glare of the sun for the past few months, the recently discovered comet, Kohoutek, has now been "recaptured" by telescope. Astronomers are delighted with what they see: Kohoutek, which may be come the most spectacular comet of this century (TIME, June 4), has already begun to develop a fiery tail. The comet will become visible to the naked eye by early December, when it will appear in the morning sky.

This possibility is easiest in those areas of government activity where legislated policy is loosely defined and subject to varying interpretations. It is exacerbated when bureaucracies grow so large and independent as to develop a life of their own, and become more concerned with serving their own prerogatives than with responding faithfully to the elected authority they were initially created to serve...
