...relayed to Soviet stations measurements of heat, radiation and meteorite activity before its radio failed, probably as a result of passing near Venus' atmosphere. Venus III may have sent even more vital information, if its radio did not fail too soon. As it plummeted toward impact, Venus Ill's telemetry abruptly ceased. In any case, the flight represented a remarkable display of space navigation. On the heels of it, the U.S. reaffirmed plans to send Mariner V to Venus...
Their troubles are particularly instructive, for most of the world's new nations do not have anything approaching even the modest resources of Ghana, Nigeria or Indonesia. Most of them are poor, primitive and ill-equipped for so much as the basics of nationhood. Some have capital cities that are not cities at all and government ministers who have not learned to administer. Government, in fact, is usually the biggest, and sometimes the only, industry in many new countries-and corruption is a way of life. Many of the new nations do not have minimal communications and transportation...
...providing the U.C.L.A. Neuropsychiatric Institute with 10% to 15% of its cases; more are flocking to the university's general medical center and the County General Hospital. By best estimates, 10,000 students in the University of California system have tried LSD (though not all have suffered detectable ill effects). No one can even guess how many more self-styled "acid heads"* there are among oddball cult groups...
Sydney P. Marland Jr., 51, came to Pittsburgh's 77,000-pupil school system from such relatively vest-pocket operations as Darien, Conn, and Winnetka, Ill. Since September 1963, Marland has demonstrated that this did not di minish his ability to think big. The chief elements of his Pittsburgh plan: - TEAM TEACHING. As in other schools, a group of half a dozen or more teachers work together with a large group of children. "But team teaching is more a spirit than a thing," says Marland. He finds that since teachers can be more creative, teaching in slum areas becomes...
...adolescents up to and beyond retirement age. Tarzan, a perennial favorite, still takes to the trees occasionally to fight for right, but with obsolete weapons. The Wild West gunfighter endures, though an hombre who traditionally hates kissin' and gets his kicks by digging spurs into horseflesh seems equally ill-adapted to the times. The exquisitely contemporary hero is girl-happy, gadget-minded James Bond, whose legend has already tempted a host of imitators to bland larceny. Now five new spy spoofs reverently ape Bond, with more a-making to catch the rich financial fallout from Goldfinger and Thunderball...
