...names, at least, the Boy Scouts of America deserve some sort of merit badge. Among the 32 million alumni are Cabinet Members Orville Freeman and Stewart Udall, Actors James Stewart and Henry Fonda. Vice President Hubert Humphrey and U.N. Ambassador Arthur Goldberg rose from tenderfoot; so did the latest Gemini spacemen, Thomas Stafford and Eugene Cernan. Defense Secretary Robert McNamara and General William Westmoreland are old Eagle Scouts, and Secretary of State Dean Rusk was once knot-tying champion of the Atlanta Council...
...different times, the thrusters fired jets of nitrogen into the lunar soil while Surveyor's camera shot pictures of the area near its feet. The pictures showed no clouds of dust-another indication that the lunar surface is firmly packed. By week's end, as the sun rose toward its apex in the lunar sky, shortening shadows and making it more difficult to distinguish lunar objects, Surveyor had already taken and transmitted more than 2,000 pictures. Because Surveyor landed in the morning of the two-week lunar daytime, period, its TV camera should be able to operate...

Then, after only three revolutions around the earth, Stafford and Cernan sighted and successfully rendezvoused with their quarry-the Augmented Target Docking Adapter (ATDA) that had been launched into or bit two days before. But there before their eyes was another disappointment...
...Chase Hobos. Menk is a railroader's son who began 30 years ago as a telegrapher, rose to head the Frisco line and become the most sought-after executive in the industry. He was recruited for the Burlington with a bigger job in mind: the railroad's stock is 97% owned by the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern and, in a merger that the ICC unexpectedly turned down last month, he was slated to become operating head of the three roads. With the merger outlook now cloudy, he is concentrating on bettering the Burlington. Among the measures...
...poetic revolution that introduced the vernacular into verse. Like Eliot, he has written very little (three volumes of verse and three of criticism), but that little he has written with iridescent precision. Like Eliot, he was infected with the century's accidia, sank into morbid pessimism, rose again in religious hope. Unlike Eliot, however, Montale has not trained his spirit to the lattice of traditional theology; his God is a rough diamond hewn from the igneous rock of experience...
