...task has engaged virtually every section of the magazine. TIME'S Jan. 24 issue contained a 20-page special section, "To Heal a Nation," describing the priorities open to President Nixon on his Inauguration. The Viet Nam war-the bloody fighting, the futile peace talks in Paris, the mounting crescendo of protest at home-have occupied the NATION and WORLD sections. Other areas of protest led to NATION cover stories on the debate over the ABM and, indeed, the entire U.S. military-industrial complex, and told of the new militancy among Mexican-Americans led by Cesar Chavez...

The rocket's readings actually overlapped OSO's in one small region, and the two instruments thus double-checked each other's operation. After four minutes of observation above White Sands, New Mexico, the rocket parachuted back to earth. "It was recovered so well that to a casual glance, you could not really be sure it had been launched," Parkinson said. The rocket will be repaired and flown again...
