...that largely empty molecular space which common men in their folly speak of as the world." To this extent, writes Anthropologist Loren Eiseley, 55, has the world of science diverged from the world of common sense, with little communication between them. In his own field, Eiseley has labored to rejoin the two worlds by tracing man's 20th century behavior back to its dark evolutionary beginnings, in language that is not only plainly comprehensible but richly poetic as well. In so doing, he has illuminated both the discoveries of the past and the confusions of the present. "Too often...
...rejoin the world revolution, America must shed its materialism, symbolized abroad by the ubiquitous PX, which Americans patronize to avoid local contacts. With a pique that suggests he was once sassed by a PX clerk, Toynbee calls on the President "to sign one executive order abolishing all PXs throughout the world, and another order releasing from their contracts all American government servants abroad who feel incapable of lapping up local food and drink...
...anything has gone wrong, they will still have a chance to rejoin the mother ship and return to earth without landing. But if all is well, they will make their landing attempt on their next close approach to the moon. By burning sufficient fuel, they will check the motion of their bug, making it sink slowly toward the surface. They will be able to hover for about one minute and move sideways 1,000 ft. in search of a good landing place. Finally the bug will settle down, steadying itself on four spidery legs...
...astronauts will attempt a LOR trip, i.e., land on the lunar surface by piloting a small "bug'' down from a mother ship parked on an orbit around the moon (TIME, June 22). After a spot of exploring, they will take off again in the bug and rejoin the mother ship for the return trip to earth. NASA now thinks that this bizarre-sounding system will prove the easiest, quickest and cheapest way to get the job done. But cautious NASA scientists will continue to study EOR (Earth Orbital Rendezvous), in which a moon-bound spaceship will first refuel...
...most delicate and difficult part of such restoration surgery is to rejoin the nerves so that they will resume their task of controlling the muscles. Neurosurgeons usually prefer to wait for weeks or months after the original operation before they attempt the job. The M.G.H. surgeons identified the three main nerve bundles in Ev Knowles's shoulder and arm, drew them together, and rejoined each with a single dacron stitch-a holding operation so that the nerves will not shrink...
