...Special editions came off presses from Taiwan to Fleet Street like confetti. Records for circulation, promotion, mass staffing, and words written were broken everywhere. At week's end the Miami News delivered to its readers a staggering 16-page, 33,000-word narrative describing the Apollo 11 mission. In New York, the Times devoted 18 pages to moon news. Even with a press run increased by 75,000, the Times literally disappeared from newsstands Monday morning-some copies going for upwards of $1 on the black market. Both the New York Post and Daily News datelined landing-day issues...
...eventual disputes over the moon will most likely be resolved through direct negotiations between the states concerned. This will almost certainly be the case for such vital questions as lunar communications and traffic control of spacecraft. Other matters like civil claims and emigration could be turned over to a special court created for the purpose, or to the International Court of Justice in The Hague. Contesting parties must agree to accept such a court's jurisdiction, however, and that has proved difficult in the past. For the foreseeable future, it is likely that only the two space powers...
...only precedent for Jackson's sweeping bill is the Full Employment Act of 1946, which established the framework for a managed economy and created the Council of Economic Advisers.

Pope John selected him as a special emissary to the U.N. to present the now famous papal peace encyclical, Pacem in Terns. After John died, Suenens worked closely with his good friend Paul VI, to whom he remains affectionately loyal even now. "It's not the engineer that I am criticizing," Suenens has said...
None of these methods can "cure" autism, the researchers warn. The best that therapy can do now is abate the worst symptoms, allowing children to remain at home with their parents and attend special schools that serve the braindamaged, the retarded, and children with other mental conditions that are more amenable to treatment than autism. The parents of autistics, who make up most of the N.S.A.C.'s 700 members, are lobbying to force all states to provide this kind of care through the public schools. So widespread is the feeling that children with severe mental illness can never...
