...ultimate goal or a philosophy. Indeed, up to a point, a great deal can be said for responding to the winds. To his credit, Nixon sensed early that there is a rising gale against the Viet Nam war. His greatest challenge today is the clock. If within a reasonable period, he can produce a formula for peace, many Americans will be inclined to give him more time for the task of healing the domestic wounds. It is perhaps more likely that a troubled nation will demand progress on both fronts at once-and that may be Nixon's real...
Nixon appears to be trying for a consensus. I think you only obtain a consensus by accident; you can never create it. When it exists for you, you take great advantage of it, as Johnson did for a period of time. But when you're riding a number of horses, you only look good until they split up to go around a tree.

...Monday, after another 4-hr. sleep period sandwiched between two meals, Armstrong and Aldrin will fire the LM's ascent engine, using the four-legged descent stage as a launch pad. If all goes well, they will rendezvous with Collins and transfer to the command module, taking their precious rocks with them in sealed boxes and leaving the LM in orbit around the moon. From that point on, they will again follow the path of Apollo 10. After firing themselves into an earth-bound trajectory, they will splash down in the Pacific Ocean some 1,160 miles southwest of Hawaii...
...safety of their triple-sealed vacuum storage boxes, the lunar samples will be rushed to the LRL even before the Apollo 11 crew members arrive to wait out their 21-day quarantine period. There are "time-critical" tests that must be performed swiftly to detect any gas or radioactivity that the samples may give off; the emissions may decrease or stop soon after the sample is removed from the lunar surface. The samples will be sealed off from the rest of the world by a double biological barrier: 1) a vacuum system and a series of vacuum chambers in which...
...organisms remain healthy and no other evidence of lunar bugs develops by the end of the quarantine period, samples of lunar rocks will be sent to 142 "principal investigators" at outside universities and laboratories, chiefly in the U.S. "Some of these men have been waiting for such a chance for 40 years," says LRL Director Persa Bell...
