COURAGE leads starward, fear toward death," wrote Seneca. Man needs courage simply to live in spite of knowing that he must die. He needs it to live richly-to take risks and thereby define himself. There are many kinds of courage, moral and physical, but all involve a struggle against heavy odds. In that sense, the astronauts' courage is new and not easily, classified...
...quotient to project a wholesome, understated image. Bravery yes, but no heroics; little eccentricities yes, but no flamboyance. Their press conferences are small Seas of Tranquillity. But, as with all other professional risk takers, the very absence of excitement suggests the presence of courage. In most valorous men there must be a diminution of the imaginative faculty. "Neither the sun nor death can be looked at steadily," wrote La Rochefoucauld. The talk of "fuel margins" and EVAs is, in part, a way of giving the eyes a rest.

By law, the A.M.A.'s political funding committee must be separate from its lobbying operation; in practice, however, the division is strictly a bookkeeping procedure. It is virtually impossible, moreover, to ascertain which candidate receives exactly how much from AMPAC.
