...seem so to the majority of Americans, and certainly not to the majority of people abroad. By satellite television, the voyage of Apollo 11 was seen and heard round the world by an audience estimated at 528 million by ABC-TV, which handled pool coverage. Many other nations sought a sense of sharing and involvement in the great adventure. Italians pointed proudly to Astronaut Collins' Roman birth. Frenchmen recalled that Jules Verne had charted the voyage more than 100 years ago. Germans noted that it was Wernher von Braun who had labored a quarter-century to perfect a rocket...

Barnes and his nine-man staff primarily help big companies find black firms...
...YEARS I've heard that if you wanted to see really good student theatre, you should abandon the Loeb (and even Agassiz) and go on out to either Brandeis or Tufts. But, a true adherent of the New Provincialism, I stayed in Cambridge. Until last Saturday, that is, when I finally managed to haul myself out to Medford (or maybe it's Somerville, the line must bissect the campus) to the Tufts Arena Theatre...
