...questing spirit is no less important to journalists. In May, Editor Jaroff heard rumors that NASA had quietly changed its quarantine plans for the Apollo 11 astronauts. The May 16 issue of TIME brought out into the open a behind-the-scenes debate on the possible dangers of lunar organisms and helped influence NASA to tighten its quarantine procedures. During Apollo 10, Correspondents Lee and Neff questioned NASA's announcement that ground controllers had tracked the lunar module to a point 9.4 miles above the moon's surface in its lowest pass. The definitive figure should have come...
...foreign policy, the new regime undoubtedly makes its best marks. Nixon has clearly demonstrated his Administration's interest in world affairs, not merely Southeast Asia's. Despite his past reputation as a hard-line antiCommunist, Europeans generally find the new regime less dogmatic and more open to discussion than its predecessor. The President's liberal critics, moreover, sometimes seem readier to fault him than Moscow; his impending Rumanian trip, for example, was denounced as a mistake by his opponents while apparently not ruffling the Russians at all. The Soviets appear eager for better relations, and the prospects...
...interest. I think we've waited long enough for the Brown decision [the Supreme Court's 1954 edict outlawing school segregation] to be implemented. I was just coming out of the Air Force when that decision was handed down. Since then, my daughter, who was less than a year and a half, has practically finished high school. White children who weren't old enough for kindergarten then have now been graduated from high school, while so many Negro children have yet to benefit...
...faculties is flouted. The union contract allows "regularly certified" teachers, who are generally also more experienced, great latitude in choosing the schools in which they will teach. Most senior teachers, who are mainly white, exercise this contractual right to seek transfers to schools in white areas, which means that less experienced and black teachers are assigned to pre dominantly Negro districts. It also means long waiting lists for assignment to desirable white schools. The waiting list for transfer to the 31-teacher Mount Greenwood School, in the white southwestern section of-Chicago, is 107 names long; some names have been...
...nation's antiwar and antidraft protesters, the decision rendered last week in Boston by the U.S. First Circuit Court of Appeals was a less than resounding victory. True, the court over turned the year-old convictions of Dr. Benjamin Spock and Harvard Graduate Student Michael Ferber on charges that they conspired to aid, abet and counsel draft registrants to violate the Selective Service law. Author Mitchell Goodman and Yale Chaplain the Rev. William Sloane Coffin, who were convicted on the same conspiracy charges, were granted retrials. From the dissenters' view point, however, the cases had been...
