...specialization. Since the disappearance of the frontier, we have become a race of emasculated, unarmed, untrained, helpless nonfighters, who live in a "packaged" mass-media dream world and have been brainwashed to leave the dirty work to trained professionals: police, doctors, lawyers, soldiers, firemen, plumbers, etc. We have seen too many heroes and do-gooders get shot, knifed, beaten, insulted, embarrassed, inconvenienced -and would you believe sued-to have much stomach to intrude into the lives and crises of that mixed bag, the urban and unwashed public. Unless the role of the good Samaritan receives the full honor and protection...
...arouse suspicion, justified or not. Kennedy has been drinking more heavily since his brother was murdered last year, but he is far from being a drunkard. He has been quite sober at several parties where liquor flowed freely, and a TIME correspondent who has watched him for months has seen him drunk only once.

...only fear that the successful flight of Apollo 11 has dealt a final blow to the Romantic spirit. (To say nothing of Greek mythology, which has succumbed to the ascendency of the number.) Gone forever are the days of the Byronic hero--Houston's psychological testing batteries have seen to that. In any case, it is difficult to imagine a sanctimonious Richard Nixon welcoming home an explorer in the tradition of Sir Francis Drake...
