...response to criticism from the Committee on Back Contamination, a group of scientists representing a variety of federal agencies, NASA has improved the complex quarantine procedures in Houston's $15.8 million Lunar Receiving Laboratory (TIME, Dec. 29, 1967), where the returned astronauts and their lunar samples will spend most of their three-week isolation period. The space agency has also taken makeshift measures to plug a major gap in the quarantine defenses: the post-splashdown exposure of the Apollo cabin atmosphere and the astronauts themselves in the earth's environment...
...self-commemoration do not appeal to Nelms. "I don't believe in education," he explained when college presidents tried to convince him that schools were nobler than booze. "I only went through the fourth grade myself-and I consider that the last year was wasted." When an opera group sought a subsidy, he said, "If you folks would just put on hillbilly shows, you could be self-supporting...

From these reports, TIME has selected an elite group of ten graduate students who are among the year's most accomplished and sought-after business recruits-and who have strong beliefs about the future of enterprise and their roles...

The pay might be somewhat more modest there, but the responsibility is larger and the promotions potentially faster.

Barreiros was still president-and his brothers Valeriano, Graciliano and Celso were all members of the management group-but his family had only a minority voice. Unmistakably, Chrysler then started running the company through its own efficiency-minded men, who were much less sensitive than Barreiros to the traditional Spanish way of doing business through friends and connections...
