TIME'S own aeronautics expert, Washington Correspondent Jerry Hannifin, contributed voluminously to this week's Skylab story, which was written by Senior Writer Ed Magnuson, and to Science Editor Fred Golden's accompanying report on space exploration. A licensed pilot and irrepressible space buff, Hannifin has been covering NASA since it was NACA (National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, until 1958). Recalls Hannifin: "We used to talk about the 'new' turbojet engines, and, gee whiz! a supersonic airplane even seemed possible." Over the years, he met Rocket Wizard Wernher von Braun, covered blast-offs from Cape...

Dutifully observing a 62-year-old Senate tradition she might understandably have skipped, Liz donned a Red Cross Gray Ladies' uniform and joined Mrs. Warren Magnuson of Washington and other Senate wives at a volunteers' luncheon. Once Senate wives rolled bandages for World War I wounded. Now they meet regularly to make nonpolitical talk along with hand puppets and clothing for a Washington children's hospital...
...outside Harrisburg, Pa., site of the most serious accident in the relatively brief history of nuclear power. TIME dispatched three correspondents and a staff photographer to the stricken area, and their reports and pictures, along with files from our bureaus across the nation, were woven by Senior Writer Ed Magnuson into a story that not only reconstructs the accident in detail, but also assesses its consequences for the future of nuclear power and for U.S. energy policy as a whole...
