...weather got in the way of the Pioneer Project at the Ames Research Center in Mountain View, Calif, where Correspondent John Wilhelm reported on the progress of the first missile ever scheduled to leave the solar system. "During high school years," Wilhelm says, "T used to haul an antique, three-inch brass reflector telescope through the attic to the roof of our St. Petersburg, Fla., home to look at Jupiter and its satellites, rings of Saturn and other celestialities." Although he was turned down for summer employment at Princeton's observatory after being asked one question - about his calculus...
...less fuel going 50 to 55 m.p.h. than when doing 70. The real issue in the cabs is not fuel economy but money in the wallet.

Averaging 55 rather than 70, they can cover 150 fewer miles in a ten-hour driving day; at 16? a mile, that translates to $24 less every working day for a hired driver and, at 40? a mile, $60 less each...

So sometimes after the meeting the men haul adobes up the hill on backs or burros or bicycles or a broken-down car from Don Francisco's house by the railroad tracks. But usually, on their day of rest from work in the fields, they sit on the railroad tracks, talking among themselves and watching the soccer game...
...been receiving declined from 98% at first all the way down to 50% recently. About 700 letters a day reach the state's other Senator, liberal Republican Jacob Javits. Though it is now running about 3 to 1 against the President, Javits' total post-Cox haul of 42,000 letters and telegrams includes only 4,000 voicing support for Nixon...
