Macabre Harvest. Experts minutely dissected the charred cockpit, sorting out and studying countless blobs of melted wiring, poring over the soot-coated, grey-scorched dials, tubes and toggle switches of the instrument panel. The outer surface of the capsule was blistered and blackened in places, evidence that the blaze somehow erupted through the light skin of the airtight craft. The board ordered another, partially completed Apollo spacecraft flown to Cape Kennedy from North American Aviation's plant in Downey, Calif., so that investigators could compare its components with the blackened debris scattered about the ruined craft...
...varied little since 1950. Japanese businessmen have worn their own commercial path throughout Southeast Asia. Hong Kong at sundown becomes a Japanese city, its harbor dappled with the neon reflections of pink, blue, red and green signs that announce Sony and Daimaru, Minolta and Canon. In Djakarta, the grey-white slabs of Japanese-financed hotels and office buildings thrust with ultramodern exuberance from the scabbed red roofs of Dutch colonial slums. Since the signing of the Korean-Japanese Normalization Treaty in 1965, the Japanese presence in South Korea has redoubled: Japanese tourists swarm through Seoul, businessmen enjoy the gamy delights...
Until recently, strikes and demonstrations were the rare exceptions in Spain; by last week they seemed to have become the rule. Shouting "Freedom, Freedom!" 2,000 students surged out of Madrid University to scuffle with squads of grey-clad police. After the Madrid riot was put down, students in Barcelona took up the fight; even women students joined in, whacking cops with rock-filled purses. Striking miners closed down 21 pits in the always tense Asturias area, and 7,000 textile workers staged a one-day walkout in Barcelona. Steel workers struck a major cold-rolling plant in Bilbao. Elsewhere...
Because It's There. Surveyor I and Lunar Orbiter II have illumined the moon as being little more than an ugly grey rock pile. So why send a man to see for himself? The geologist wants it done because he hopes to find clues to when and how the earth came to be. The biologist wants to know if there are any vestiges of existence there that might solve the riddle of what life really is. The astronomer hopes that a definitive look at the moon could help unlock the secret of how the solar system was formed...
...students and the grey-capped, rubber-faced, Harvard-sweatshirted newsboy man went their separate ways. The students went home and the whistling man went over to the Out of Town newsstand and bought a whole pile of fresh crisp papers to hide under his arm and disappear down the subway with. They cost ten cents each. One should always be suspicious of people wearing Harvard sweatshirts...
