...Your revealing article "The Second Phase in Paris" [Dec. 6] gave me serious doubts as to the sincere .desires of the four parties concerned to achieve a "just and honorable peace." It seems absurd that mature men, especially those honored in the ranks of world diplomacy and charged with the awesome responsibility of ending a war that has become one of the most unpopular and ethically debatable in history, could spend months haggling over such minuscule points of procedure as the shape of the conference table and the number of doors leading to the main hall. It was estimated that...
...point must be clearly made before a valid consideration of this novel can be undertaken. Today a novel on any phase of the black revolution is de facto propaganda and allegory, whatever the author's disposition toward his subject matter may be. In consequence, aesthetic considerations must take second place to the social and political ones in criticizing such a book.

There is one final, crucial phase or Apollo 8's mission: reentry. As it plunges back to earth, traveling some 7,000 m.p.h. faster than a returning earth-orbit mission, Apollo will have to re-enter the atmosphere at an angle no greater than 7.4° nor less than 5.4°. Reentry at too steep an angle would cause too sudden a deceleration. The force on Apollo and its occupants could then exceed 20 g's, and friction with the atmosphere would heat the spacecraft far above its design limits. Says Lieut. General Samuel Phillips, Apollo program director...
