NASA's own package of post-Apollo programs, which includes additional lunar flights, orbital space stations and a series of unmanned planetary probes, would, by the agency's estimate, absorb between one-half of 1% and 1% of the gross national product every year for ten years. In the present $900 billion U.S. economy, the price would range from $4.5 billion to $9 billion a year. Though the total would be considerably smaller than the budget for defense (now $79 billion) or the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (now $58 billion), it would run considerably higher than...

To be sure, Americans will continue to agonize over the cost of the program -which NASA says will come to no more than .5% to 1% of the gross national product (currently running at $900 billion) a year. And the question of priorities will remain relevant as long as such earthly imperfections as poverty and pollution persist. Still, as Science-Fiction Writer Isaac Asimov says, "Man has always had the other side of the hill to worry about"-and he always...

This is true not only of relatively new products, such as the cortisone group of hormones, but even of digitalis, the oldest and most effective medicine for the most common forms of heart disease. In most cases, the FDA will proceed slowly and cautiously, figuring that it may be wiser to leave a product on the market until its efficacy is definitely disproved by the panel...
...existing orientation program simply the product of spontaneous activity or are members of the Student Personnel Dept. hired to do the job? The current City College bulletin suggests the latter: "Members of the Department conduct a series of orientation classes for all entering students and provide individual orientation interviews" (page 175). Isn't it up to Dr. Gallagher to appoint a Black and Puerto Rican administrative superstructure with which student volunteers can work...
