...rescue a vacillating policy. At worst, it may prove a disaster destroying forever Moscow's claim to leadership in the Communist world. It may temporarily halt the trend toward more freedom in Eastern Europe and shore up Russia's buffer against the outside world for a little longer. But ultimately, the invasion can only serve to encourage the strong forces of nationalism and liberalization that are at work throughout the former Soviet empire...
...free world is accustomed to condemning Russian inroads and intransigence, from the brutal putdown of the Hungarian revolt to the erection of the Berlin Wall. In the past, most Communist countries and parties have either wholeheartedly supported such transgressions-or at least closed their eyes to them-but no longer. Last week, in one country after another, Communists found themselves on the side of the Czechoslovaks...
...Walter very nicely got the flu and I had to step in and conduct the Philharmonic, this age thing has changed. At that point, anyone in his 20s or 30s was just laughed at. It all begins much earlier now. There's something else. A conductor is no longer just a man who leads an orchestra.

Because planetary exploration "is no longer a primitive and risky art," the scientists say, the accepted practice of launching two spacecraft to accomplish the same mission, and the construction of a third duplicate craft as a "backup," in the event of twin failure, is largely unnecessary. They recommend, however, that NASA proceed with the only planetary flight now funded and scheduled-a photographic flyby of Mars in 1969 by two Mariner spacecraft. The flights would not be redundant, the report notes, because each Mariner is scheduled to photograph a different area of the Martian surface...
...have a semi-fastback roof-line that will make it sportier than the Volkswagen, Japan's Toyota, and other leading low-priced imports. The car is currently being test-run at the company's proving ground in suburban Dearborn. Code-named "the Delta," it is considerably longer (176 in. to 159 in.) than the Volkswagen, but does not stand quite as high (53 in. to 59 in,). It will get about 22 miles to a gallon of gasoline. Ford hopes to keep the cost under $2,000 by incorporating into its design as many parts from the Falcon...
