Ever since Ranger 7 shot its closeups of the moon, scientists have been studying the pictures in minute detail. They contain the most detailed information man has ever collected about his planet's nearest neighbor. And they are already shattering some long-held theories. Ranger's lunar snapshots, says Dr. John A. O'Keefe of Goddard Space Flight Center, prove that the moon has not been a dead cinder ball for billions of years, as many astronomers believe. In fairly recent times, it seems to have stirred with volcanic activity...
...Charles Michelson, Inc., which resurrected The Shadow, is also releasing eight other favorites in 52-week packages, including Dangerous Assignment, Famous Jury Trials and The Green Hornet. Detroit's Fred Flowerday, a former sound-effects expert, has acquired the licensing rights to two other oldtimers, The Lone Ranger ("Hi-Ho, Silver") and Sergeant Preston of the Yukon ("On, King, on, you huskies . . .").

...Pentagon meanwhile worked out broader plans. The Joint Chiefs transferred an attack carrier group with the flagship Ranger from the First Fleet along the west coast of the U.S. into Sharp's Pacific area. Thailand agreed to accept two squadrons of U.S. Air Force fighter-bombers. More than 50 F-102s and B57 Canberra jet bombers took up residence at airfields at Danang, Saigon and Bienhoa in South Viet Nam. Near Bienhoa, a B57 crashed into the jungle with Capt. Fred C. Cutrer Jr. and Lieut. Leonard L. Kaster aboard. Hampered by Communist guerrillas, rescuers were unable to find...
