...footpad of Eagle, the spindly lunar module of Apollo 11. Then he extended his left foot, cautiously, tentatively, as if testing water in a pool?and, in fact, testing a wholly new environment for man. That groping foot, encased in a heavy multi-layered boot (size 9˝B), would remain indelible in the minds of millions who watched it on TV, and a symbol of man's determination to step?and forever keep stepping?toward the unknown...
Attached to a leg of the lunar module's lower stage, which would remain on the moon when the upper portion blasted off, was the already famous "We came in peace" plaque signed by President Nixon and Apollo 11 Astronauts Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins. Also to be left behind: medals and shoulder patches in memory of Yuri Gagarin, Vladimir Komarov, Virgil Grissom, Roger Chaffee and Edward White, five men who have died while in Soviet or U.S. space programs...
...will begin in 1971 with a 28-day flight by three men-one a doctor. These vehicles are only forerunners of a giant space station that NASA plans to orbit by the late 1970s. The first station will probably accommodate twelve people, including the first American spacewoman. It will remain aloft for at least ten years, with crew members rotated every six months...
...support necessary for such journeys. 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.

Liberal Democrats argued that unless they tied the surtax, which Nixon wants badly, to reform, which he does not want quite so badly, reform would remain what it has been for years: something to be done tomorrow. Though the Administration did, in fact, attach a few reforms of its own to the surtax bill as a sweetener, it did not go nearly far enough to satisfy the liberals. While Nixon pledged himself to submit a more comprehensive tax-reform package to Congress this year, he has been less than specific about its contents-perhaps partly because...
