...code will tolerate a great deal, if not everything. In effect, it merely ratifies the changes that have taken place in American sensibilities. The old puritanical tone is virtually gone. The first principle of the old code stated that "no picture shall be produced which will lower the moral standards of those who see it." The new code leads off with the suggestion that movies should "keep in closer harmony with the mores, the culture, the moral sense and the expectation of our society...
...display last week at Manhattan's Museum of Modern Art with 48 prints by 15 artists. In the opinion of the museum's print director, William Lieberman, the pioneer of the movement is Robert Rauschenberg, who in 1964 created a print called Shades, which was, in effect, an art-toy-graphic. He transferred bits of newspapers and magazines onto a lithography stone, then inked and printed the image on an acetate sheet, which he in turn laminated on Plexiglas. Finally, he illuminated the whole thing with a light bulb. The result: a movable electric 3-D graphic...

Aware that Surveyor was dying in space, scientists decided to salvage some engineering telemetry data from the mission. They turned on the craft's landing radar system to check the effect of failing batteries on its operation, then they opened the vents on the liquid helium tanks to test the system that pressurizes Surveyor's rocket fuel. In a last effort, they fired the spacecraft's big retrorocket while it was still 70,000 miles from the moon. The spin rate slowed, but not nearly enough. Then, while the retrorocket was firing, all contact was lost with...
...spacewalk difficulties encountered by Gordon-and by Cernan before him-have had a restraining effect on NASA officials. Last week, anxious that nothing go wrong on the final Gemini flight, they canceled the entire AMU experiment and began planning a simpler and less arduous space walk that will give Aldrin a better chance of making out with...
