Hinsdale, Ill., Salt Creek Playhouse: The Teahouse of the August Moon, with Comedian Jack Douglas and his Japanese wife, Reiko...
Like Noah s Ark. One Saturn cluster with its upper stages and lunar landing retrorockets is expected to soft-land 2,370 lbs. of cargo-or two men and their life support-on the moon. The G.E. plan is to set a radio beacon on a suitable lunar plain selected in advance by instrumented exploring rockets. Cargo ships will home in on the beacon and land their loads within half a mile of it. When all essential articles have arrived safely, the colonists will follow two by two, like the animals entering Noah's ark. Their first job will...
...that will doubtless be close to their hearts: getting back to earth. In the clutter of equipment on their dusty lunar plain, they will find enough rocket engines, heat shields, navigation instruments and other parts to assemble five return vehicles, each of which can blast two men off the moon, return them to the earth and land them on its surface in, hopefully, good condition...

The Saturn launch site, apparently on a tropical island, will cost $342,694,000, including $1,520,000 for a chapel and $40,000 for moving a native village. The Saturns will cost $4.9 billion. Grand total for establishing the ten-man colony: $7.9 billion (in today's dollars). The whole job can be accomplished, says G.E., in 1968, and the colony can be kept on a permanent basis, perhaps with...
...ducklings (human) who can't seem to acquire a friend until the sentimental fadeout page. For pre-teentimers there are soap operettas about girls "who never quite know how to talk to boys." The boys are usually busy talking to a pet moose or rocketing off to the moon. But at least, the cautionary yarns of the brush-your-teeth-or-mommy-won't-love-you variety seem to be on the wane. So are humorless educative nip-ups of the A-is-for-aspidistra, B-is-for-bathy-sphere order...
