...into the moon's surface, leaving a small dent. Opening its claw, it deliberately gouged a small trench near its feet, curiously watching each movement to determine the nature of the lunar soil. Thus last week Surveyor 3 became the second U.S. spacecraft to achieve a successful lunar soft landing. "We've not only placed man's eyes on the moon in the form" of a TV camera," said Project Manager Benjamin Milwitzky, "but now we've also put his arms and hands there...
Although he is no windmill-tilting crusader, Bob Haack will bring to the Big Board presidency a deep knowledge of the securities business and a proven knack for prudent reform.

In Fiammetta, a Florentine figlia who lives with her widowed mother gazes dreamily at the family's carefully manicured estate, brooding about the disorder within herself. "The warmth in me is so soft that it hurts," she mutters, in a plotless sequence as muzzy as her mood. Marie-France and Veronica tells of two chic Parisiennes, not yet 17, sophisticated but full of curiosity about the homme-dingers hanging around them. While Marie-France reads Baudelaire, Veronica lives him, at an endless round...
