The next President faces an immense load of unsolved international and domestic problems, and upon the way he handles these problems rests the future of this country as a free society and the future of the world as a free and peaceful planet.

That possibility was suggested in a recent study of Titan, the largest of Saturn's ten moons, by a team of Cornell University scientists under Astronomer-Exobiologist Carl Sagan.

It also has a thicker atmosphere than had been suspected and is leaking small quantities of hydrogen gas into space.
