...East Lansing, M.S.U. officials were as irate as campus football fans on a losing Saturday. "A scurrilous and silly hatchet job," said Political Scientist Wesley Fishel, who headed the project from 1956 to 1958 and was "as close as friends can be" with Diem. Fishel conceded that the university knew all about the CIA men. "Anyway, they joined the project on our terms," he said. "While I was there, there was definitely no cloak-and-dagger stuff. They trained the Vietnamese police...
Fishel said that he had not been happy about harboring the agents; nor had his successor, Political Scientist Ralph Smuckler. "It may not have been right to get into it," said Smuckler. "We were caught and felt we had to follow through...
Venusian Distance. Harvard physicists, for example, have measured the minute frequency change that takes place in gamma rays projected vertically for as little as 70 ft. in the earth's gravitational field. Their results upheld the gravity-caused shifts in frequency predicted by Einstein. An M.I.T. scientist plans to bounce high-frequency radar pulses off Venus as it begins to swing behind the sun. If Einstein's theory holds, the radar waves will be slowed down slightly as they pass through the strongest part of the solar gravitational field-enough to cause a 40-mile error in radar...
...first word about the latest Russian space feat came, as usual, not from a Moscow spokesman but from a greying British scientist. Astronomer Sir Bernard Lovell, 52, who used the University of Manchester's 250-ft. radio telescope at Jodrell Bank, England, to track the Soviet spaceship Luna 10 on its successful moon mission, jumped at the chance of providing a maneuver-by-maneuver account that enabled the free world to learn of the first lunar or bit before most Russians...

"God is all that I cannot understand," says a Roman seminarian. A Boston scientist describes God as "the totality of harmony in the universe." Playwright Alfred muses: "It is the voice which says, 'It's not good enough' ?that's what...
