...back to earth. The whole capsule is 34 ft. long, weighs about 30 tons when fully fueled. Ultimately, the Apollo will also carry a lunar module, a buglike, rocket-powered ferry that two astronauts will board for the last-leg descent to the moon's surface, while the main capsule cruises in waiting orbit...
Beyond Capacity? The Economic Report, bulwarked by the findings of the President's Council of Economic Advisers, assumes that while inflation remains a hazard, its main cause has shifted from excessive consumer demand to cost pressure on producers.

In Phuoc Trach, a fishing village on the populous coastal plain below Danang, CAC protection allowed Navy Seabees to build a bridge connecting the village with the main road to the provincial capital. In the past, villagers had to sail up a Viet Cong-controlled river to reach their market-and pay plenty of fish in tribute along the way. The Phuoc Trach Marines have even taught their Vietnamese friends how to dance to rock 'n' roll...
