...Mather's resignation for the political sympathy it aroused and they misinterpreted his motives; one senator accused him of "trying to play the part of a martyr for education when he is actually scheming to protect his own selfish interests." The senator was utterly mistaken. Mather still does not know what post he will assume come next July. His resignation, however brought much public interest into the open; UMass may well have received more favorable publicity in the 31 days between the death of Bill 1030 and the passage of the compromise hike than in the 96 previous years...
...Beatnikery is out," Mortimer told himself as he paged through a copy of Life. "When Smithies quote Ginsburg instead of Donne, all exclusiveness is lost." We start a quiet little revolt and before we know it, Random House and Time and C.B.S. take it over and build it into a big thing. Even the New Yorker expresses horror...
...that little old history course," Delwood told his electric blanket. "Can't go through Harvard without seeing good old Schlesinger, big name you know." The blanket didn't know. "History 169, that's it." He leafed through the catalogue again, stopping at page 206. "American Intellectual History, 1789 to Present, MWF at 12, great, just great, can't wait to hear li'l Artie." Another notation...
...scientists know how to build such a guidance system, but they are frustrated. U.S. first-stage rockets do not have the power to launch toward the moon an object big enough to carry guidance apparatus. So the aim of U.S. moon probers has to be right from the start-like firing a rifle bullet from a moving platform at a distant and moving target. This is much harder than the Russian system, which is more like navigating a ship into harbor...
...Crater. The Russians themselves do not claim to know precisely where the Lunik landed. Astronomers from the Ukraine's Kharkov Observatory, who watched and photographed the moon at the moment of impact from a high-flying airplane, think they saw 'a light effect" at the right instant. U.S. astronomers doubt it. Moon Expert Gerard Kuiper of the University of Chicago thinks that no flash of impact would have been visible against the moon's sunlit surface. He questions a Hungarian report of seeing a long-lasting dust cloud on the moon. Since the moon has virtually...
