A flight launched into a proper trajectory on Nov. 1, 1979, would be picked up by Jupiter's gravity and hurled to Neptune - like a skater at the end of a crack-the-whip line - in only 8.1 years.

If he wants to appeal his classification, he can learn the proper procedure for going about it only from a tiny pamphlet supplied by the local board. At one time each state was to appoint a government appeals agent to usher a man through the elaborate appeals process, but the position is unfilled in some places and the government agent makes...
