Lunik III is a small, new member of the earth-moon system, and its big associates can tug at it strongly whenever it gets within range. The effect on its orbit will be greatest whenever Lunik III comes close to the moon, but this will not happen often. Eventually, Lunik may be attracted down to the moon's surface, or perhaps the moon will deflect it into a course that will hit the earth's atmosphere and bring its historic career to a fiery...
What would happen to the station if and when it rounded the moon and headed back to the earth was anybody's guess. It might burn up in the earth's atmosphere or miss it widely, shooting far beyond and returning again. It might make many different swings, perturbed by the influence of the moon. One thing was certain: it would not go into a permanent orbit around both earth and moon. The moon is relatively fast on its own orbit around the earth; by the time Lunik III swung back, the moon would have moved...

If an individual's refusal to contribute was no longer an offense, then persuading others to refuse could not be an offense. The court agreed, rescinded the fines. But it did not decide what will happen if priests in future advise their converts to defy recognized and living native laws...
Sooner or later in the course of This Is Your Life, it was bound to happen; some hero would come along and kick over the bucket of treacle. It happened last week.

From the point of cutting food costs at the same time, the buffet plan has a distinct advantage. If a person, say, did not appreciate creamed cauliflower, he would not be forced to take some as would happen with the pre-filled tray. The amount of food prepared might be reduced, and almost certainly the amount thrown away would be minimized. Result: less expenditure for labor, and possibly less for food, with the added advantage of individually-determined servings...
