...Both scientists and the public derive a benefit from the space program that your Essay "Why Should Man Go to the Moon" [Feb. 10] does not mention. For more than 50 years, scientists have been crying for support of basic research, not for what it produces immediately but for what it ultimately provides for society's betterment. The space program should be our great teacher in this. It is the first case of widespread support of science by the public, and already the public is being made aware of the benefit it will derive Ironically, some of the same...
...conviction that the space program is only a sophisticated WPA. The prime objective seems to be to answer the question of a curious few, "What's out there?" Well, I don't care what's out there, and I don't care if the moon is made of green cheese, and no doubt there are tens of millions who don't care either.

The 7-ft. 1⅜-in. sophomore leads the nation in both scoring (31.2 points per game) and field-goal percentage (202 out of 299 for 68%). On the road against Illinois last week, he poured...
Cardin, who has also branched out into men's fashions, fielded his corps of boy and girl "cosmonauts" in jumpers and welders' helmets for the third season, as if to insist that they will really make it to the moon. His newest touch was wide, wide vinyl "space belts," which gird the torso from belly button to bosom bottom, zip up the back...
