...Suit. Like almost everything else aboard during the January holocaust, the Gemini space suits worn by the astronauts burned, as interior temperatures rose to 1,500° F. To withstand such heat, the nylon outer covering of the Apollo suit has been replaced by Beta cloth-an advanced form of glass fiber produced by Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corp. Backing up the new fabric are 14 layers of fire-resistant material. Even if they were caught in an on-board inferno, the Apollo astronauts would have several minutes of protection while wearing the new suit. Big gest problem posed...
Although this was Glacier's first lethal encounter with bears, park authorities immediately banned overnight camping and the Interior Department pondered new rules for camping out in national parks, while some Montanans demanded the eradication of the park's grizzlies (estimated at 100). Whatever the outcome, last week's twin tragedies were a reminder that the grizzly deserves his Latin name-Ursus horribilis...
...D.A.R. a vote of thanks-for stumbling over her boobytrap. It seems that Joan had determined as long ago as May that the D.A.R. would refuse permission for her to use its 3,800-seat Convention Hall for a folk-singing peace-in, had quietly arranged with the Interior Department to give her concert at the Washington Monument.

"I'm dedicating my first number to the D.A.R.," she said onstage, "and all those I really need...
...numbers fairly constant. Estimates of the U.S. rat population (largely guesswork) range from 90 million to 100 million, or about half as many rats as people. For New York City, the estimates run as high as 8,000,000, or one rat per person. The U.S. Department of the Interior figures that a rat eats 40 Ibs. of food a year, and spoils twice as much. The nation's total rat damage is roughly $1 billion a year...
...mere mention of a motel in the same breath as an Adams photograph is grotestque; after all, he is the official photo-muralist of the Department of the Interior. But the comment illustrates a fundamental need of the viewer; a photograph must be somehow associable with him. Because he lacks or rejects the use of human scale, Adams' photographs are most effective on three-and four-foot panels. Everything is larger than life; he chooses subjects before which a human being stands tiny and speechless...
