...American public to accept. The draft can be 'reformed' to take the pressure off troublesome college students. In time the policy of phased reductions might actually reduce the troop commitment in Vietnam to 200,000 or even fewer. The military command in Vietnam may be able to substitute even heavier air strikes for the costly ground operations that have sent so many young men back to the United States in wooden boxes...
Nearly 200 Ibs. heavier than Lunokhod 1, which it closely resembles, the remarkable machine is apparently equipped with sophisticated gear to analyze the soil that it picks up. In addition, the robot carries a cosmic-ray counter, a "telescope" that can look for distant X-ray sources in the heavens and a French-built laser reflector, which -like similar reflectors left behind by Apollo-should enable scientists to measure the distance between earth and moon with extreme accuracy...

The military command in Vietnam may be able to substitute even heavier air strikes for the costly ground operations that have sent so many yound men back to the United States in wooder boxes. At home, non-Vietnam military spending is already being pared down in what could develop into a new effort to show that the Federal Government can produce both...
...Mental retardation. Doctors have long suspected that maternal malnutrition was responsible for low birth weight among some babies born at term. A recently released British study has shown that these babies are likely to lag behind their heavier contemporaries when they get to school. Columbia's Winick says that 80% of all brain growth takes place between conception and the age of two; growth that fails to take place during this period because of either fetal or infant malnutrition does not take place...
...Perhaps most important of all, exploration of the moon has shown that it is not a simple, uncomplicated sphere but a true planetary body with a complex history and evolution of its own. Like the earth, the moon was once at least partially molten, and thus became differentiated (many heavier elements sank toward its center, while lighter elements floated to the surface to form a crust). In the words of Apollo's chief scientist, Noel Hinners: "It is a piece of the solar pot from which all the inner planets are made. We had no idea of that before...
