...aides are concentrating their efforts on the next big test, the Florida primary on March 11. Says a top Carter aide: "If Kennedy beats us there-and it's a damn sight easier to beat us there than elsewhere in the South -he's got the big ring to grab...
...what a citizens group can do to fight crime. Another citizens crime commission, in Wichita, is run like an FBI cover operation. It is headed by former G-Man Maurice ("Corky") Corcoran, 60, who likes making "a stakeout" and boasts of nipping a bingo operation and an abortion ring. But the main work of the 24 citizens commissions around the country is to be watchdogs. Privately supported, mostly with business contributions, the groups have professional staffs ranging from 19 in Chicago to one in Saginaw, Mich. They have no power to make arrests or subpoena witnesses. But by serving...
Battered and pitted from its encounter with the rings of Saturn, the Pioneer 11 spacecraft headed into deep space last week, its mission accomplished. In its sweep past Saturn, it had provided the best look yet at the solar system's second largest planet, discovered what is probably an eleventh Saturnian moon and two more rings. It also confirmed the existence of another ring and a magnetic field, and dimmed hopes that Titan, Saturn's largest moon, might harbor some form of life...
Further study of radiation data revealed that besides the fifth and sixth ("E" and "F") Saturnian rings observed a few days before in Pioneer photos, there was an outermost and tenuous seventh ring as much as 960,000 km (600,000 miles) from the planet. Other facts disclosed by Pioneer's telemetry: Saturn, as expected, has a magnetic field. But it is only 700 times stronger than the earth's, a fifth as intense as scientists had expected. Because this field traps particles radiated from the sun, Saturn has radiation belts that Pioneer detected as it neared...

House and company productions will thrive, and Mayman reports that the Aggasiz theater is booked all the way through December. Last year, small groups outside the Loeb put on everything from the traditional Camelot (in the Union) to an original Lost Cookies at Eliot House...
