...Apollo astronauts overshadowed -even if, in the long view of history, it did not cancel out - many of the most compelling events of the year. In just 147 hours, it transformed the pioneers of lunar space into the men whom history will long honor. But, like the rest of the nation, the people at TIME watched that flight with a sense of suspense and expectation that was hardly lessened by the massive amount of knowledge and information that the correspondents, writers and editors brought to the task of describing...
...beleaguered battlefield -not, as Astronaut Lovell described it from his vantage point nearly a quarter of a million miles away, as "a grand ovation to the vastness of space." Sated with violence, sick of crisis, weary of politics and protest alike, the U.S.-and the rest of the world-needed few excuses to look to the heavens. As the year waned, they shifted their gaze to earth's placid, lifeless satellite-as Sir Richard Burton described it in 1880, "A ruined world, a globe burnt out, a corpse upon the road of night...
...Government is considering similar action against one school district in Middletown, Ohio, and another in Union Township, N.J., both of which stand to lose their subsidies if they do not meet federal integration requirements.

Two Charlotte County deputies stalked him until finally he paused to rest directly in front of them. "We turned the light on him, and there he was, crouched down on a log, just sitting there," said Deputy Milton Buffington. They found $17,-000 in his pocket...
...currently visiting Broadway, Robin Gammell is delightfully disjointed as Ui, but as a Nazi he is just a lovable softy. He couldn't throw a spitball at the teacher, let alone murder his best friend. By contrast, Christopher Plummer's performance in 1963 was chillingly demonic. The rest of the cast preserves the company's formidable reputation for inadequacy. It is just as well that Brecht did not live to see this production...
