...visual impact and verve, the Nixon group seems far ahead of the Romney for President Committee, which almost surreptitiously set up shop a few blocks to the north in March. The Romney group, which includes many middle-aged pros and is led by Old Gladiator Leonard Hall, 66, conveys a relatively stodgy impression. The linoleum-floored suite is virtually hidden away on the Shoreham Building's eighth floor, next to the offices of Sidney Zlotnick, attorney at law. Nixon headquarters, by contrast, abuts the salon of Madame Dana, a popular palmist, who prognosticated: "His convictions come across...
...even more informative. Its overhead and closeup picture of the Humboldt Crater-located at the right edge of the visible face of the moon and difficult to see through terrestrial telescopes-suggested to Astrogeologist Harold Masursky that the crater is "very young" geologically and was probably created by the impact of a meteorite only a few million years ago. The event was so recent, Masursky believes, that the floor of Humboldt is still gradually rising. This "isostatic rebound," as he calls it, has produced an obvious fracture in the crater floor-evident for the first time in the Orbiter...
...first time a large rill, or canyon, in an area near the south pole that is not visible from earth. The 200-mile-long and 10-mile-wide canyon extends from the edge of a large and still unnamed crater, and was created, Masursky believes, by the impact of the same meteorite that formed the crater. The spacecraft may also have helped determine if the lunar "seas" or flat dark areas are part of the moon's original structure or were formed by the impact of gigantic meteorites. If these lunar basins were formed by the impact of meteorites...

Students who do not score at least 560 on the College Board achievement test--about one-third of Harvard-Radcliffe undergraduates--must take and pass two full courses in a language to graduate from Harvard...
...package of concessions, in which no nation got all that it wanted. "Even the greater economic powers," said Wyndham White, "can no longer pursue their destinies in disregard of others. Still less can they seek solutions to their economic problems by narrow nationalistic policies. Nor can one escape the impact of the economic difficulties of the others." The crucial compromises...
