...March, which called for accelerated research on defensive weapons, including those that could be based in space. After the President's address, more than a dozen people joined in the appeal. Among them: Hans Bethe and Isidor Rabi, winners of the Nobel Prize for Physics; Retired Admiral Noel Gayler, who was director of the National Security Agency from 1969 to 1972; Lee DuBridge, physicist and president emeritus of the California Institute of Technology; and former NASA senior Space Wizard Christopher Kraft.

Last week nearly half a million squeezed through the narrow streets to the race course beneath the castle. They heard Labor Party leaders defiantly answer the Tory Party's bid for votes. The Durham gala, which began in 1861 with a protest march against dangerous conditions in the pits, is always a living symbol of the bitter class consciousness of British labor. This year-was no exception...
