...determined," he says, "that our USIA overseas libraries will be ideologically balanced on the liberal and conservative sides. I will say something that may sound dangerous-the majority of books written tend to be written by people on the liberal side because they are more articulate. People like Schlesinger and Galbraith. But our libraries must express-clearly and openly-both sides." Finding writers on the other side, however, is not always easy. Recently Shakespeare fretted: "Why can't we get a good conservative like Richard Kerr to do some writing for us?" Assistants searched diligently, but could find...

Although a thick coat of clinging dust prevented immediate detailed observation, geologists could see that several of the rocks were igneous-formed out of molten material like lava.

The biggest of these "grapefruits," as Conrad had called them, weighed as much as four pounds and were about six inches long and five inches wide. Said...

The effect may have been caused, he said, by a layer of rubble or fractured rock sandwiched between bedrock in the floor of the Ocean of Storms and a solid cover of fine material deposits above. Lacking dampening fluids or gases, the layer of rubble may have acted as an echo chamber in which the seismic waves reverberated. If so, the next big seismic event on the moon should be a scientific spectacular; the third-stage rocket of Apollo...
...Less Like Andorra. Finally, a coalition of Socialists, Communists and right-of-center Liberals passed the bill by defeating a combination of Christian Democrats, Monarchists and neoFascists. Perhaps now, said the weekly L'Espresso, "Italy will be a bit more like England and Sweden and a bit less like Paraguay and Andorra...
