...journal Archaeology usually concerns itself with down-to-earth matters, but a recent issue contains an appeal that reaches rather far out. In a letter to the magazine, Astronomers John C. Brandt, Stephen P. Maran and Theodore Stecher ask archaeologists for help in determining the age of a giant celestial gas cloud. Known as the Gum Nebula, the cloud has been attracting more than usual attention among astronomers.

Eventually, Administrator Paine also hopes to cut the cost of putting a pound into earth orbit from the current $500 to $50. To help achieve this breakthrough, NASA has three different rockets on its drawing boards: Tri-Maran (a reusable three-stage booster whose stages are mounted side by side instead of atop each other); Dixie Cup (with a low-cost, discardable, solid-fuel first stage), and the Big Dumb Booster (so called because it has neither guidance equipment nor complicated fuel pumps and plumbing).

George Maran, August Jaresch, Alois Pernerstorfer: the Camerata Academica of the Salzburg Mozarteum conducted by Bernhard Paumgartner; Epic, 2 LPs). Mozart's first opera here gets a busy but clear-lined first complete performance on records.
