Jovian Gases. For all its promise, though, the ground-bound lunar voyage failed to stem rising scientific impatience with the U.S. space program. The scheduled Apollo moon mission is only 18 months away, and space specialists are already demanding that the U.S. start looking beyond the moon to more distant and challenging targets. At the Fourth International Symposium on Bioastronautics and the Exploration of Space in San Antonio last week, scientists repeatedly urged NASA to get on with the job of planning trips to the earth's planetary neighbors. Since unmanned probes have all but proved that the moon...
...expects to show a substantial surplus in 1969. It is now trying to arrange a longer-term loan to go along with the three-year credit it received from the IMF.

I removed multiple bullet and multiple bone fragments. I knew there was irritation of the center of the brain, the region of the brain stem. I couldn't see that bullet fragment, but I knew it was there from the X rays. Of course I had to leave...
...directly beneath the juncture of the cerebellar hemispheres, is related to eye reflexes and both eye and body movements. It also serves as a pathway for nerve tracts running to and from the cerebellum and other parts of the brain. A bit lower and most vital is the brain stem, the "old brain," which man has shared with other creatures since the earliest stages of evolution. A passageway for nerve impulses, it monitors breathing, heartbeat, blood pressure, digestion and muscle reflexes, mediates emotions...
