...setup but soft-pedaled his predecessors' criticism of the TV industry, is anxious to return to private practice. In three years at HEW, Keppel made its Office of Education the nation's most innovative force in public education (TIME cover, Oct. 15) but ran into increasing political friction in Washington after he temporarily cut off federal school aid to Chicago and threatened the same for other cities that had been slow to integrate. Henry's resignation was accepted effective May 1, while Keppel's lay for the time being in Johnson's In basket...
...Establishment's influence has not disappeared, of course, but much of the Establishment has joined the swinging London atmosphere, encouraged by the likes of Princess Margaret and Antony Armstrong-Jones. Part of that atmosphere is the result of the simple friction of a young population on an old seasoned culture that has lost much of its drive. Youth is the word and the deed in London-and well it should be: nearly 30% of its population is in the 15-34 age bracket, far more than the rest of the country as a whole. This new generation has grown...
...other, or pitch it up or down. Once thrusters have been fired to change the orientation of the craft, however, other thrusters-pushing in the opposite direction-must be fired to stop the motion at the desired point. In the absence of an atmosphere to slow it down by friction, the spacecraft would continue any attitude-changing maneuver indefinitely unless reverse thrust were available to stop...
...Entry Endangered. As the roll rate increased to a terrifying one revolution per second, Armstrong realized that Gemini was at fault; he quickly threw circuit breakers that cut off the flow of fuel and oxidizer to all of the attitude thrusters, including No. 8. The roll-with no friction or counterfiring thruster to stop it-continued undiminished. It was at this point that Armstrong resorted to the independent reentry rocket system to bring Gemini back under control. Once the vital re entry control fuel had been tapped, however, Gemini's ability to make a successful re-entry was endangered...
...participating in an urban school plan and a student-teaching plan, WE might consider backing less attractive proposals, such as giving student representatives on some faculty planning committees the right to vote and pressing for faculty involvement in course evaluation. Support for measures like these might result in temporary friction with the faculty; but it could give future educators what they now ironically lack--a voice in determining the basic nature of their own education...
