...Marshall Commission's report has lived up to its advance billing. It is a carefully-written, well-considered, document. The majority decision that 2-S should be abolished is reasonable and just...

As the report on the conference noted, "The image of the Volunteer as a well-meaning amateur sent abroad to 'relate' to people came in for a strong battering." One expression of this point of view is that the Volunteer tends to see the solution to his problems in technical terms: he feels he needs better training, more modern textbooks, abler support from the Peace Corps staff, or special skills he doesn't now possess...
...wildly gyrating Gemini 8 and the tragic deaths of the Apollo astronauts at Cape Kennedy have convinced a growing number of experts that NASA's "redundancy techniques" have their limitations and that a space-rescue system is needed to supplement them. In a 584-page space-rescue report scheduled for release this week, the House Committee on Science and Astronautics concludes that "the question is not whether such a capability must be developed but in what form, at what times and at what costs this capability is to evolve...
Ground-based rescue systems have serious drawbacks. The House space-rescue report estimates that the minimum time required to launch a Titan 3 rocket and rendezvous its rescue vehicle with a low-orbiting spacecraft is four hours. In addition, the orbiting, disabled ship would pass near Cape Kennedy only two or three times per day. Should a countdown be delayed long enough for the "rendezvous window" to close, the rescue ship would have to delay its flight for hours. Thus, unless the astronauts were well supplied with oxygen and in no immediate danger, the rescuers might arrive too late. NASA...

Medina's group has now issued its own report calling for a "soft" approach that rejects pretrial court control over both the press and the police by means of contempt or any other form of "judicial censorship." Medina urged hands off the press, strictly voluntary codes of police silence, and only a tightened canon of ethics that would put the possible suspension or disbarment...
