...before the first Sputnik was launched in 1957, though their speculations were largely limited to questions of national sovereignty. After a United Nations committee studied the problem, the General Assembly adopted a resolution in 1961 affirming that the U.N. Charter applied to outer space and that celestial bodies were open to exploration by all states...
...treaty is not a detailed code, however, and its provisions are necessarily general. Article XII says that all stations on the moon must remain open to inspection by other states on a reciprocal basis. This might mean that if Russia's Luna 15 had landed with cosmonauts aboard, they would have had the right to look over Eagle. On the other hand, the U.S. could have refused entry by citing the treaty's provision that such inspection must be requested in advance, and must not interfere with normal space operations...

The Cuyahoga can be cleaned up in Cleveland, but as long as other cities keep dumping wastes upriver, it will remain exactly what it is today-an open sewer filling Lake Erie with scummy wavelets, sullen reminders that even a great lake...
...industrial society at the turn of the century, we literally busted out all over. There were no guidelines for development, there was desecration of the earth and abuse of raw materials. Nobody wants to go back to that. But we have to decide what we want. If we want open spaces, fresh water and clean air, we should be willing to sacrifice the concentration of industry.

"The giant cool that is part of today's life-style repulses me," he says. "The artist has to have vulnerability, open up his feelings, and find a loving commitment." Though Diebenkorn and Natkin belong to no school and live and work on opposite sides of the continent, their similar approaches to painting have brought them both to a kind of stylistic halfway house between representationalism on the one hand and formal geometry...
