TIME'S own Apollo 11 team in New York consisted of Senior Editor Ronald Kriss, Associate Editor Leon Jaroff, Contributing Editor Marshall Burchard, and Researchers Sydnor Vanderschmidt and Gail Lowman. Dogging NASA officials, scientists and astronauts from Houston and Washington to Cape Kennedy were Correspondents David Lee and Donald Neff, both veterans of previous launches. Neff, who spent two years reporting from Saigon, finds that space "is all the things that despairing war is not. The space program is affirmation.

Professionals were unnecessary, explained a succession of bartenders and bellhops, because of the numerous eager amateurs, among them single girls and divorcees drawn to the secretarial ranks of NASA and the space contractors. Liaisons often begin at "Thank God It's Friday" parties that fill the bars until past midnight, or at the frantic launch and splashdown celebrations thrown at The Mouse Trap or The Missile Lounge in Cocoa Beach...

Relieved that nothing stronger had been attached to the NASA bill, one Harvard administrator recently commented, "I think it's a good sign--I hope." Just how good a sign it is, and how long-lived Congress' moderation on campus disturbances is, should be clearer by the time appropriations hearings are over. The final result may depend largely on how strongly the American public as a whole is feeling about "college unrest."
