...lawmakers also invited the FDA to tackle a forbidding and involved cleanup job. From 1938 to 1962, some 7,000 new drugs had been marketed and during that period the FDA had final say on their safety but not their efficacy. The assignment from Capitol Hill was to recheck all of the drugs to determine whether they worked as advertised...
Without any additional thrust, Apollo's own momentum and the weak lunar gravity would combine to carry it around the moon and fling it back toward earth in a spatial version of crack-the-whip. Indeed, if a recheck of systems and equipment convinces ground controllers and the astronauts that serious problems have developed, the crew will merely continue in this new course and travel back to earth. But if everything seems all right, Apollo's powerful SPS (service propulsion system) engine will be fired for 246 sec. to slow the spacecraft and allow it to be pulled...
Spectacular Bonus. Apollo 8, which will carry Astronauts Frank Borman, James Lovell and William Anders into orbit late in December, was originally designed to duplicate this week's flight and to recheck any equipment or procedures that go wrong on Apollo 7. Now, spurred by growing concern that the Soviets are planning to upstage the U.S. by sending the first manned craft around the moon, NASA has folded a spectacular bonus into Apollo 8's schedule. If all goes well with Apollo 7, Apollo 8 will be shoved from earth orbit to ward the moon by the last...
Nonendorsements. Four weeks ago, TIME correspondents surveyed the commitments and inclinations of the 1,333 G.O.P. delegates. The indication then was that Nixon could expect 688 first-ballot votes, or 21 more than necessary for the nomination (TIME, July 5). A recheck last week showed a slight erosion of that strength and enough uncertainty in some states to put a first-ballot nomination in question...
...market is still singularly old-fashioned and slow. Ten months, and often more, elapse before the accepted manuscript arrives, printed and bound, on the bookstore shelf. Delays menace every step of the route; there is no quick way, for instance, to edit a lengthy manuscript and to check and recheck the galley proofs for printer's errors. A book must wait its turn at hard-pressed printing plants, like Kingsport Press in Tennessee, one of the largest in the U.S. The sheer bulk of books retards their progress; jobbers have only so much storage, and can be poky about...
