...most famed space-instrument laboratory in the U.S. The walls have turned a dingy yellow; the ceilings and walls are laced with pipes and conduits. In one room were stacks upon stacks of tape recordings of satellite data, neatly sorted according to tracking station-Singapore, Ibadan, Lima, Heidelberg. In another, students pored over the squiggly lines that are man's first clues to the geography of outer space. Other students tested electrical components no bigger than grains of rice, soldering them together with hair-thin wires, and carefully fitting them into assemblies...
After summer school at both Heidelberg and Grenoble ("I wanted to learn French and German, but didn't until somewhat later") Sigmund came to Harvard, and attended GSAS in political theory along with Miles, Hoffman, Brzezinski, and Mavrinac.

Sigmund did other research at Heidelberg, Paris, Cologne ("I worked best in Cologne; Paris was lovely, Cologne was duller") and in the summer went to Tunisia for a student meeting.

Pastor Wipprecht. 29, who was born in Germany and polished at Heidelberg after schooling in the U.S. and Canada, divides his time between the Cobalt United Church and the public school, where he teaches religion. When his seventh-grade pupils came to the seventh of the Ten Commandments this spring, Pastor Wipprecht wrote three questions on the blackboard, told the children to copy them and take them home to their parents. The questions: 1) How does a baby start growing? 2) What does the term sex relations mean? 3) How much should I know about the biological side...
