Federal District Court Judge Homer Thornberry was one man who profoundly sympathized with Judge Clement Haynsworth after the Senate rejected the South Carolinian for the Supreme Court. In a sense, Thornberry had been there himself. Lyndon Johnson nominated him to replace Justice Abe Fortas on the theory that Fortas would be moving up to Chief Justice on Earl Warren's retirement. Thornberry is depressed by Haynsworth's rejection. "Haynsworth was unacceptable because he is a conservative Southerner," Thornberry tells friends in Texas, "not because he's unethical."

Under a pitch-black sky, the Ocean of Storms presents an eerie face, its black shadows starkly contrasting with the blinding white reflection of early morning sunlight from the desolate, rock-strewn surface. The black-and-white monotony is broken only by the color brought to the moon by man-the golden insulating foil on Intrepid, (continued on page 41) the red and blue of the American flag, the golden reflection from the umbrella antenna-and the blues of the earth in the sky above...

To the dismay of scientists-who wanted to study the discoloration of Surveyor's white paint-all of the Surveyor pictures are in black and white; while photographing the little craft...

...man chiefly responsible for the Market's state of disarray will not be at the huge oval table. Charles de Gaulle saw the EEC as little more than an expediter of French policies and was determined to keep it thoroughly subservient to the six governments that brought it into being. On two occasions De Gaulle vetoed British membership. During one seven-month period, he ordered his ministers to boycott all meetings of the Six to demonstrate his displeasure over what he considered supranational power plays by the EEC Commission. De Gaulle became a symbol of obstinacy, but he also...
