...President steered another wary course on the touchy issue of school-desegregation guidelines. Established by HEW, the guidelines required some Southern school districts that are still segregated to integrate by this fall, the rest by the fall of 1970. The possible punishment for non-compliance is the loss of federal financial assistance. For months, the guidelines had been the subject of an intense debate within the Administration.

The lyrics, when they occur and when you can make them out, are so simple and naive that...
...earth's speed through the universe as a whole. Now, a young Stanford University astronomer has made such a computation by using a phenomenon so distant in origin that it can be considered at the very outer limits of the cosmos. He calculates that along with the rest of the Milky Way galaxy, the earth is hurtling through space at 360,000 m.p.h...
