...attempt a "soft" instrument landing on the moon? U.S. spacemen would be relieved to know the answer. For though none of them wholly agree with British Astronomer Bernard Lovell, who thinks that the Russians are making no effort at all to put their cosmonauts on the moon, doubts do linger. Russian-American cooperation would at least end the nagging worry that the U.S. may be going for broke in a $40 billion race against an utterly indifferent opponent...
...encourage Communists to risk limited aggression, might even weaken the effectiveness of nuclear striking power as a deterrent against a major Communist thrust. The debate has since quieted down, but last week, in a speech in Seattle, Washington's Democratic Senator Henry M. Jackson showed that misgivings still linger. He "strongly supported the strengthening of our conventional forces," said Jackson, but the U.S. must not forget that its safety and that of the free world ultimately depend upon nuclear weapons and the nation's "will" to use them if necessary. "What defends Berlin?" Jackson asked...
...Senate has passed the Administration's bill to help state and local governments develop mass-transportation facilities. It has also approved a Kennedy bill to set up a Youth Conservation Corps, plus a "home town" youth employment program.

They had the help of three researchers, Margaret Quimby, Martha...
Expensive Lingering. Eight hours by train from Paris and three from Geneva, therefore the most accessible of Switzerland's three top ski resorts, Gstaad prides itself on its "family-like ambiance." The village's popularity may be measured in part by the declining number of hotel rooms; like a horde of men who came to dinner, winter vacationers tend to linger on forever, end up plunking down an average $70,000 for a plot of land and another $50,000 for a chalet to build on it. To some, a year-round retreat there is worth even more...
