...last week to White House Fellows, the President lauded their generation for its "questioning, critical spirit, skeptical of promises and rather impatient with results." He reminded them that they enjoyed "enormous freedom-freedom of inquiry, freedom of expression-yes, freedom of dissent." And that freedom, he said, "can never harm us if we remember that it is a two-way street...
...barracks comes a group of prisoners from Auschwitz. Among them is an ancient Pole bearing perhaps the most unusual luggage ever brought into the camp-a cardboard suitcase containing a three-year-old boy, orphaned and alone save for his gaunt guardian who has so far kept him from harm. When the Pole is transferred to another compound, the Kapos (trusties) and other prisoners combine forces to hide the child and save him from the packs of Nazi wolves who run the camp.

Then, reassured that the numbing cold of its flight through space had done no harm, it reached down and pressed its steel-tipped claw into the moon's surface, leaving a small dent. Opening its claw, it deliberately gouged a small trench near its feet, curiously watching each movement to determine the nature of the lunar soil. Thus last week Surveyor 3 became the second U.S. spacecraft to achieve a successful lunar soft landing...
During preparations for its successful trip to the moon, Surveyor was spared a severe test that future unmanned spacecraft on missions to Mars and Venus will have to endure: dry-heat sterilization to prevent the contamination of other planets by earthly microorganisms. The terrestrial bugs can do little harm on the lifeless moon, but experts agree that their premature arrival on other planets could obliterate or alter possible native life forms before they could be studied. There is a growing feeling, nonetheless, that the U.S. may have accepted international sterilization standards that are unnecessarily high...
...tree, but you shall bury him the same day." In other words, even criminals were to be spared the possibility of mutilation by wild animals after their execution. Orthodox extremists interpret that injunction as meaning that any human must be given prompt burial before his body can come to harm, except when an autopsy can help save the life of a person in the immediate area...
