...colonel as an alternate member of the party's Central Committee. The colonel in question is Dr. Chien Hsueh-shen, a product of M.I.T. and Caltech. Chien, who was commissioned in the U.S.A.F. during World War II, headed a missile-research team in Germany at war's end. In 1955, he was expelled from the U.S. as a suspected Communist. Since then he has made important contributions to China's nuclear-weapons program. Not that he was the only weaponry expert who moved into a position of influence in the party.

It was morally sensitive scientists who helped inspire the nuclear-test-ban treaty, and they also lead the most informed debate on the ABM program. In addition, an entire new generation of scientific intellectuals is deeply concerned about ecology and environment-preoccupations that far transcend...
...searching a reevaluation. NASA's manned flight chief, George Mueller, has even asked veteran newsmen: "Now you tell me how we can sell the country the space program." Other NASA officials fear that too many Americans view the lunar landings not as a beginning but as an end. All the old questions are reappearing with increasing frequency in public debate: Does man have a place in space? Should he establish a base on the moon? Should he explore the planets?
