...touch of TV makes the whole world kin. Readers will have no difficulty in making out the shaggy outlines of Presidents J.F.K., L.B.J., R.M.N., not to mention Henry Kissinger (Carl Tessler in the book), J.

Something went wrong. What J.P.L.'s Surveyor Project Manager Howard J.

The best guess at J.P.L. is that the retrorocket exploded, blasting the craft to bits. Whether that actually happened, or whether Surveyor 4 disintegrated on impact, is a mystery that may never be solved-unless astronauts some day hike to the target site and examine the wreckage...

One is Sandvik Steel Works, a $100 million-a-year company that sells more than half of the world's regular razor-blade steel. Its far-traveling president, Engineer Wilhelm Haglund, 60, made several flying trips to Boston in the past year to win the prized order to become Gillette's prime supplier for stainless...
