...accompanied man's first landing on the moon seemed to be missing. But as Apollo 12's lunar module Intrepid swooped down toward the lunar surface last week, Charles ("Pete") Conrad's words conveyed the real excitement and significance of the second moon-landing mission: the newfound precision that enables the U.S. to pick a destination on the moon's rugged surface and reach it as reliably as a taxicab finds a street address in Manhattan.

Competition arose to test the newfound sense of journalistic purpose. In 1894 the Daily News was founded which enjoyed a brief but respectable history, and suffered in a bitter and somewhat violent rivalry with the entrenched CRIMSON.

But many of this year's college and university commencements were surrounded by a palpable atmosphere of tension. Conscious of their newfound power, students eyed their speakers with more than the usual contempt for cliché and platitude. Wary orators appeared to treat the graduates of '68 with respect rather than condescension, and pleaded, in effect, that they reason together as adults. What many of them wanted to reason about was the phenomenon of student unrest...
