When Joe Kennedy moved from accumulation to preservation of capital, the safest bet seemed to be Manhattan real estate. To his delight, his shrewd broker, John J. Reynolds, the real estate counselor of the archdiocese of New York, made him vastly richer at minimum risk. Gradually, over the past seven or eight years, Ken Industries and the Park Agency, Inc., have disposed of the family's holdings in Manhattan. The golden touch that Kennedy enjoyed in his dealings is illustrated by the largest single transaction in this slow, quiet process of liquidation. In 1943 Kennedy bought the property...
...tubing for evidence of micrometeorite bombardment. Finally, he removed Surveyor's mechanical scoop, which still contained the dirt that had been photographed by the spacecraft's TV camera 31 months ago. Their mission accomplished, the astronauts headed back to the LM with their Surveyor parts and the new collection of rocks. Conrad fell during the walk-the first fall by a human on the moon-but was quickly helped to his feet by Bean. "It was no big deal," Conrad assured NASA scientists, who had feared that a fall might rip an astronaut's space suit...

It has also proved, as Wernher von Braun said, that man can live and work on the moon, and that it can indeed be quite hospitable to visitors from earth...

But last summer, according to U.S. intelligence sources, a prototype of the giant booster exploded on the launch pad at the Tyuratum space complex in Central Asia, killing a number...
Arms for Athens. Such hopes are likely to be disappointed soon. After a long period of deliberation, President Nixon has appointed a new Ambassador to Greece, Career Diplomat Henry J. Tasca, who is awaiting Senate confirmation. More important, the Administration has decided in principle to resume the full arms aid to Greece that was suspended in 1967 to show U.S. displeasure at the military takeover...
