Moreover, the University will at the earliest feasible time undertake to replace locations in the Cambridge area and to build other housing for Cambridge residents as we can, subject to the ability to obtain adequate financing from the Federal Government or elsewhere...

Better Focus. To obtain their proof, Stephen Little of the University of Texas and Astronomer Ronald Schorn of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory turned to the same kind of tools that they and other scientists had previously used in attempts to detect Martian water: the telescope and the spectrograph, which breaks light into its rainbow (spectrum) of colors and records it on a photographic plate. With the aid of a $100,000 NASA grant, mirrors had just been refinished on the 82-in. McDonald telescope, bettering its focusing by a factor of three. The optics of the spectrograph had also been...

Now the ides of April are approaching-the deadline for filing is the 15th of this month-and the resentment of taxpayers points increasingly toward a ballot-box revolt. In a spontaneous outpouring of popular indignation, citizens by the thousands have deluged Washington...
