I resent the contention so commonly made today that it is my duty and that of all other persons to make a continuing effort to understand and appreciate it. As a scientist, I have some esoteric interests of my own, but I do not insist that anyone else share my interests in these things. In fact, I would be surprised if many people...
...getting past unforeseen trouble. Ranger's pictures of the moon, spectacular though they were, contain only 500,000 "bits" of information; the human eye with one glance takes in 100 million "bits." In short, however intricately engineered, no instrument, no computer can quite replace man. As one scientist observed, "You can study a girl's measurements, but it will never be a substitute for putting your arm around...
What University of California Political Scientist Ernst Haas calls "ever-expanding islands of cooperation" have grown markedly in the past two decades.

By far the most important and promising groupings are economic, and the model that inspires all of them is the Common Market. By bringing down tariff barriers within a vast...
Airless Orb. Undaunted, a University of Miami scientist with credentials in the field of cosmogony-has resurrected one of the old theories and given it a new twist that he feels will enable it to pass the mathematical and dynamical tests its predecessors failed. Physicist S. (for Siegfried) Fred Singer suggests that the moon first evolved as a minor planet, independent of the earth and following its own orbit around the sun. About four billion years ago, he believes, its path carried it on a near-collision course with the earth, which at that time was an atmosphereless orb revolving...
